The Four Seasons

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 work is structurally sound. The canvas is slack to the stretcher. There are handling marks and some signs of wear, with some associated material losses, to the extreme edges and corners. There are a few loose threads in places, in keeping with the nature of the medium. There are two holes in the lace, one in the lower left corner and on in the lower centre area. Examination under ultraviolet light shows no indication of inpainting. It is our opinion that the work is in good condition.
