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.
This painting is supported on the reverse by a glue lining and is quite firmly adhered to its stretcher. There is slight cusping visible along all four edges. The paint layer is slightly dirty, but stable under a clear varnish. A fine uneven craquelure is visible through out. The painting has become slightly abraded with age and the impastos have been somewhat diminished. Inspection under ultraviolet light was hindered by an opaque varnish.
