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.
The painting is executed on board and is stable on its support. With minor frame abrasion to extreme edges and some minor surface soiling. The paint layer is stable and is under a clear varnish that has slightly yellowed. With some scattered minor losses and a few small areas of flaking. The impasto well retained. Inspected under ultraviolet light. No apparent inpainting. The reverse with a charcoal study of a figure. Offered with a carved giltwood frame. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the condition of the frame.
