Fred Harman | Stamp Back

Artist: Fred Harman | 1902-1982 CAA, SI
Title: Stamp Back
Signed l/r: Fred Harman [artist's cipher]
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 22 by 30 inches


Condition: Very Good
To the unaided eye, this piece appears to be in very good condition. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a normal fluorescence of the artist's pigments. There are no signs of restoration. There is an approximately 4 inch long abrasion in the upper right corner where the canvas has shifted in the frame. This appears to only have effected the varnish and is not visible to the naked eye. The piece is framed in a pale rustic wooden frame with a dark antiqued gold panel and a linen liner. The frame is in good condition with normal signs of wear. The linen liner has some discoloration.
