RUSLI | Temple Scene

This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of some wear and losses along the edges of the work due to abrasions with the frame. There is some very light hairline craquelure, but this is only visible upon very close inspection. There are two small areas of indentation on the upper left quadrant. This work has been relined. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals one small area of restoration at center, and an area of old restoration at the brown pigment at lower left quadrant. Framed.
