Shadow Portrait Head

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 work has not been examined outside its artist's frame. Faint wear and minute losses are intermittently to the frame, presumably in keeping with the artist's working method. A fine layer of surface dust and scattered fibrous accretions are present. Faint abrasions and pinpoint losses are intermittently. Hairline drying cracks are intermittently to the figure, and a pinpoint abrasion with associated paint loss is to the lower edge left of center. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
