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 is some rubbing to the extreme corners. There are some minute abrasions and pinpoint losses to the vertical left edge of the canvas. There is some craquelure to the upper left quadrant, to the back of the yellow animal, with associated paint losses. When examined under ultraviolet, there is no evidence of any inpainting. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in good overall condition.
