Nesting Birds

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The canvas, stretcher and attachments are in generally good condition. The canvas is slack to the stretcher. There is paper tape along the turnover edges. There are some pinpoint sized brown accretions in places. There is some soft staining in places. There are craquelures in the yellow passage in the upper left corner. There is a circular impact craquelure of circa 4cm. in the light yellow passage in the upper left quadrant. There are craquelures in the lower right corner and in the orange passage in the upper right quadrant. There is also an abrasion of circa 2.5cm. in the orange passage in the upper right quadrant. There is some soft surface dust and dirt in places. Examination under ultraviolet light shows no indication of inpainting. It is our opinion that the work is in good condition.
