Portrait of a girl

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.

THIS CONDITION REPORT HAS BEEN PREPARED BY HAMISH DEWAR FINE ART CONSERVATION,
IN THE CHRISTIE'S WAREHOUSE FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS SALE.

Structural Condition

The canvas is unlined and is securely attached to a four member, keyed wooden stretcher.
This is ensuring a stable structural support.

Paint Surface

The paint surface has an even varnish layer and is stable.
Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a discoloured, slightly opaque varnish layer.
inspection under ultraviolet light also shows a few minor retouchings at the extreme edges
and a few further spots and lines within the main body of the composition. It should be noted
that these retouchings are all of minimal size.

Summary

The painting would therefore appear to be in very good and stable condition.
