拍品的状况可能存在极大差异,而由于其性质使然,拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。
This painting is unlined. There is a small buckle in the canvas at upper right, but it remains secure on a keyed strainer. The surface is slightly dirty. Inspection in natural light shows strengthening along the edges, especially in the corners. Another small area of strengthening is visible just to the left of the sitter's face. Inspection under ultraviolet light further reveals small areas of restoration in the sky at left and in the sitter's jacket, along his back. Further inspection under ultraviolet light is hindered by a slightly opaque varnish. The painting can be hung in its present state.
