GINO SEVERINI | I Tulipani

The canvas is lined. Examination under UV light reveals areas of retouching along the left edge and to the right part of the upper edge, and some further small dots of retouching to the smaller light-blue shape (approx. 35 cm from upper edge and 29 cm from right edge). There are some hairline lines of retouching related to craquelure in places, most predominately to the grey pigment. There is a tiny paint loss located 32 cm from the upper edge and 25 cm from the right edge. There are some superficial surface scratches notably to the green pigment and some minor stretcher bar marks along the extreme edges. This work is in overall good condition.
