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.
Some surface soiling as to be expected with age. Overall with a network of craquelure. Minor frame abrasion including an associated loss of pigment at the lower left. Scattered pinpoints of pigment loss. Examined under ultraviolet light. The canvas presents with a milky varnish. Scattered areas of touch-ups including to the left side of the face, the right shoulder, and the flowers on the hat. Possible multiple campaigns of restoration and touch-ups to minimize the appearance of craquelure. Please note Christie's does not guarantee the condition of frames.
