WIFREDO LAM | Sin título (Baño de sol)

This work is in good condition overall, taking its age into account. The canvas is unlined and slightly loosely stretched. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable overall. Isolated areas of abrasion and minor losses to the media layer are present in the following locations: two fine diagonal two-inch bands in the center quadrant; two fine horizontal half-inch bands in the lower left quadrant in the shawl; three fine half-inch horizontal bands at the center left extreme edge, and a fine two-inch diagonal line at the extreme upper right corner. An intermittent fine band of media losses is present along each of the extreme edges of the canvas. Three white pinpoint drip accretions are present in the lower center quadrants, two in the legs of the figure, and one in the shawl. Under ultraviolet light examination, no evidence of inpainting is revealed.
