Valentine, with garden in sochi motif

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 sheet is hinged using archival plastic corners to the backing board. Discoloration is visible intermittently to the sheet. There is a horizontal crease and an area of surface irregularity is visible in the upper register, presumably a vestige of the artist's working method. A few small spots of adhesive residue and areas of soiling are visible occasionally to the edges of the sheet. Under ultraviolet light, a few small spots of inpainting are visible to a few repaired creases to the lower quadrants in a blue passage, a pinpoint spot of inpainting is visible near the lower right edge in a blue passage, one is below center in a blue passage, and a minute one is to the upper right quadrant in a blue passage.
