Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed under Plexiglas.

"The people I paint don't exist. The only thing that's real is the painting. It's not like a photograph where there's another reality that existed at a certain moment in time in the past. The image is only happening right now and this is the only version of it."  John Currin
