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.
Still life with bird's nest
This uncradled panel is in very good original condition despite some abrasion along the edges, with some minor surface scratches and dirt, and a few tiny losses to the paint surface. The fine narrative detail remains appreciable throughout the composition.
Examination under ultra violet light reveals some very minor spots of isolated retouching in the upper left quadrant of the panel.
Still life with pomegranate
Like it’s pendant, this picture is in good original condition. There are some surface scratches, the most conspicuous of which runs diagonally through the largest leaf, upper centre, and evidence of abrasion along the lower and right edges with associated losses.
Examination under ultra violet light is obscured by the old varnish layers but appears to confirm its unrestored state.
