Notes: "Blue Bottle" by Hovsep Pushman, was sold circa 1940 and is signed lower right, Pushman. The painting has a surface scratch between decorative figure and bottle; under UV exam, appears to be minor in-painting in negative space around blue bottle and in face of decorative figure at left; several dime-size spots of possible in-painting in upper left quadrant, but old varnish layer makes painting surface difficult to read.
