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.
It is our opinion that the work is in very good condition. The work was inspected in its frame, hence its sides could not be checked. Paint layer appears to be in very good and stable condition, and colours are fresh and vibrant. Slight undulation of the canvas, only visible upon closed inspection, and does not affect the overall appreciation of the work. No apparent retouching observed when inspected under UV light.
