Le Cavalier (The Knight)

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 canvas, stretcher and attachments appear to be in generally good condition. There are a few minor tears and surface inconsistencies in places to the collage elements, presumably a result of the artist's working method. There are a few pinpoint accretions in places most notably to the upper right vertical edge. There are a few minor drying cracks in places, most notably to the lower right vertical edge. When examined under ultraviolet light there appears to be no evidence of any retouching. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
