Freeman’s Auction The Freeman’s auction catalog references a partial Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art Exhibition label verso dated 1929. No such label is present. Just a few remnants. Under u.v. light there are a few tiny specks of restoration; canvas is not relined. Verso of canvas has some staining – the staining does not appear on the front of the canvas. The paint film has visible craquelure. It is stable. Note: The painting is softer and colors are more vivid, and pastelly in real life. The green colors are wonderful. The gold frame color throws off the camera and makes the painting look colder and harsher than it is.
