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 appear to be in generally good condition. There is a very slight irregularity to the lower horizontal edge due to the uneven underlying stretcher. There is some linear rubbing to the lower right quadrant near the figure’s chin, only visible under raking light. When examined under ultraviolet light, there is no indication of inpainting. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
