拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異,而由於其性質使然,拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。
Oil on canvas. Examined out of the frame. There is some planar distortion to the canvas, consistent with thick application of paint on both sides. There are some scattered hairline cracks, predominantly towards the edges of the canvas, these appear stable and secure. There is some paint separation in places, predominantly in the darker pigments, which also appears to be stable. When examined under ultraviolet light, there are some scattered fine lines of fluorescence that correspond to the aforementioned hairline cracks. There are some further areas of fluorescence in the red pigment to the right of the composition, and a few spots to the extreme edges. There is a layer of varnish that has slightly discoloured with age. On close inspection, there is some minor surface dirt. Subject to the above, this work appears to be in good overall condition.
