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. There is a horizontal feather craquelure of circa 10cm. in the upper right corner. There is a vertical craquelure of circa 15cm. in the lower centre. There are some circular craquelures in the lower left quadrant. There are stretcher marks visible in places, most notably along the lower left vertical edge. There are a few soft abrasions in places. There is some soft staining in places. A backing board is covering the reverse, presumably the painting is signed and dated on the reverse. Examination under ultraviolet light shows no indication of inpainting.
