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 tension is quite low, there are several (corner) distortions in the surface. Stretcher marks on all four sides are visible due to the low tension.
The white paint layer shows in some areas fine aging cracks, the adhesion though is still intact and stable enough. Several tiny traces of abrasion are present in the corners, the matte paint surface shows glossy spots.
The painting has still its original stretching, minor paint losses are present on the nail heads. Some of the nails show traces of rust.
There are no signs of former restoration campaigns visible.
