10.28.25 - In my opinion regarding LOT: 2322 – the watercolor was examined in frame behind glass, the sheet was not examined out of frame and it is unknown how or if it is mounted, a UV light examination is unremarkable revealing no evidence of inpainting or restoration to the sheet, I note only inherent variations within the work as it was created, the mat shows two small imperfections at the upper and lower left corners, likely cuts from its creation, the frame is stable and has been painted gold with some small chips, areas of paint loss, and tonal variation, I note light debris behind the glass, all mentioned minor with no major loss or damage to the visible work observed
