Sergio Hernandez (b. 1957, Mexican) "Insects" Mixed media on stretched parchment Signed lower left: Hernandez; titled by repute 21.875" H x 21.875" W 21.875" H x 21.875" W Visual: Overall generally good appearance. The parchment is detaching from the stretcher bar at the tacking edges along the upper and upper right vertical edges, causing some warping to the parchment in the upper right corner. There is a series of approximately 10 pinhead-sized (or smaller) holes to the parchment in the center of the image (only easily seen when backlit). In this area there are also a number of approximate pinhead-sized (or smaller) similar marks that are not holes, and are mostly visible under raking light. It is unclear if these holes and marks are inherent to the parchment or possibly insect damage. There is some occasional scuffing in places along the edges. Blacklight: No evidence of restoration. Frame: 24" H x 24" W x 2.25" D
