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.

In good order and appearance with general wear and some discoloration to the miniature from age. It is signed on the lower edge/ truncation of the bust portrait and the signature is visible in the online catalogue images, although it is rubbed and partially obscured. Please note, the miniature has not been examined outside its frame. There is some dust which has gotten into the frame between the glass. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the condition of the frames, which is structurally sound and ready to use, but with general wear, nicks, and small losses throughout. The online catalogue images are accurate.
