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 pinpoint accretions in places, most notably to the centre. There are a few hairline tension cracks in places to the extreme edges. When examined under ultraviolet light there are a few passages in places that fluoresce in a manner consistent with retouching, presumably the artist’s hand. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally good condition.
