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 are craquelures in places, predominantly in the upper half. The impasto is well preserved. There are some signs of wear and some paint losses to the edges in places, presumably coherent with the found canvas. Examination under ultraviolet light shows no indication of inpainting. It is our opinion that the work is in good condition.
