Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
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 has been subject to relining; it is held under tension and remains stable. In raking light it can be seen that the impasto has been slightly flattened by the relining process. The painting presents well in natural light and the paint is stable. Examination under UV light reveals minor scattered retouching across the surface. There is a cloudy varnish that precludes further examination.
