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.

Oil on cradled panel. Varnished. Two horizontal cracks running at the centre of the composition and some further irregularities in places inherent to the support. Some surface dirt with associated spots of accretion in places. Some hairline stable craquelures in places mainly in the thicker and lighter pigments. Examined under ultraviolet light: some horizontal lines of retouching corresponding to the aforementioned cracks. Some further areas of fluorescence mainly in the upper part of the composition, likely corresponding to retouching. The surface is difficult to read to the opacity of the varnish.

Huile sur panneau parqueté. L'oeuvre est vernie. Deux fissures horizontales au centre de la composition et d'autres irrégularités par endroits inhérentes au support. Salissure de surface associée à des points de saleté par endroits. De très fines craquelures par endroits principalement sur les empâtements les plus épais et les plus clairs. Examiné à la lampe à ultra-violets: des lignes horizontales de retouche qui correspondent aux fissures susmentionnées. D'autres zones de fluorescence principalement sur la partie supérieure de la composition et qui correspondent probablement à de la retouche. La surface est difficile à lire due à l'opacité du vernis.
