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.

Structural condition
The canvas has been lined and this is ensuring a sound and secure structural support.
Paint surface
The paint surface has a very uneven varnish layer and would undoubtedly benefit from
cleaning and revarnishing.
Inspection under ultraviolet light shows numerous spots that fluoresce unevenly but I am
confident are deposit spots within the varnish layers rather than retouchings, and I could find
no evidence of any retouching. There may be retouchings beneath the old opaque varnish
layers that I could not identify under ultraviolet light.
Summary
The painting would therefore appear to be in very good and stable condition and should
respond well to cleaning and revarnishing.
