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.
Not examined out of frame. Minor frame abrasion to the extreme edges and with some surface soiling. A few tiny abrasions, including a vertical one near the right edge, and with scattered pinpoints of pigment loss. The canvasboard cut down on the upper and left edges. Examined under ultraviolet light. With scattered strokes of inpainting, primarily to the white background surrounding 'TABAC', and also with an uneven varnish to the center background, also evident to the naked eye. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the condition of frames.
