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.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CONDITION REPORT WAS PREPARED BY HAMISH DEWAR, AN

Structural Condition
The canvas is unlined and is evenly and securely attached to what is evidently the artist's
original keyed wooden stretcher. This is ensuring a sound and secure support and it is
obviously most encouraging to find the canvas in it's original unlined state. The overall
structural condition is very good.
Paint Surface
The paint surface has a rather dull and uneven varnish layer and would undoubtedly respond
well to cleaning and revarnishing if required. There are a few very fine lines of drying
craquelure within some of the darker draperies which are entirely stable but could be
retouched with minimal inpainting if required.
I could find no evidence of retouchings under ultraviolet light.
Summary
The painting would therefore appear to be in very good and stable condition and while no
work is required for reasons of of conservation, should benefit considerably from cleaning and
revarnishing if required.
