CAIO FONSECA | Pietrasanta

Winston Wächter Fine Art, New York
Acquired from the above by the present owner 

This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable. Light wear is present along each of the extreme edges of the canvas. In the upper left corner, an isolated fine horizontal line of craquelure is present, measuring three inches in length. At the extreme upper right edge, a one-inch grey horizontal band appears to be soiling but may be inherent. A few scattered pinpoint spots of media loss are present at the center right pull margin. Under ultraviolet light inspection, fluorescence occurs throughout which appears to be inherent to the artist's working method. Unframed.
