PAL FRIED (AMERICAN/HUNGARIAN, 1893 - 1976) THE HOSTESS. Canvas: 40" x 30" $1,000/$1,500 Oil on canvas. Signed LR. Unframed

This piece has a medium amount of dust grime build up that is more significant to the top edge and side of the canvas. There is some streaking yellow grime on the bottom right hand quadrant near the corner, it is unclear if this is just paint varnish or grime. There is light overall yellowing to the painting. There is a very faint stretcher bar line on the left side of the canvas about 2" from the left edge. There are a couple .25" diameter holes on the side of the canvas that appear to be from previous framing or canvas preparation. There are also several light line scuffs ranging from about 2" - 8" scattering the canvas (faint and only visible upon close inspection). This piece was not inspected under backlight.
