This lot is located in Chicago.
Property from the Collection of Dr. Kianoosh Jafari

Frame: 26 x 14 3/4 inches (including detached central ornament). With loss to the frame along the top segment (central ornament and small fragments retained). The copper panel in good, stable condition; paint layer is slightly dark commensurate with age. Scattered minor instances of loss to the paint layer in the upper-right corner. A faint scratch exposing the underlying copper along the lower edge of the panel. Examination under UV light reveals an even varnish and some instances of repair/overpainting to the frame.
