THIS CONDITION REPORT HAS BEEN PREPARED BY HAMISH DEWAR FINE ART CONSERVATION, IN THE CHRISTIE'S WAREHOUSE FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS SALE. UNCONDITIONAL AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE
Structural condition The artist's board appears to be structurally sound and secure with an even profile. The edges have been strengthened in places with metal sections covering the outer edges and fixed with tacks to the reverse of the board. Paint surface The paint surface has an even varnish layer. Inspection under ultraviolet light shows scattered retouchings around the outer edges and some fine lines of inpainting, particularly on the right of the composition, which I assume cover thin scratches. There are other small, scattered retouchings. Summary The painting would therefore appear to be in good and stable condition and no further work is required.
