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 is some minor rubbing to the extreme edges with a few associated pinpoint paint losses to the extreme corners. There are a few pinpoint accretions in places, most notably figure’s nose. There is a a hairline tension crack to the extreme left 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 good condition.
