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 is supported on the reverse with a glue lining. It is stable on its support. The paint layer is stable and under a clear varnish that has yellowed with age. There is an overall unobtrusive very fine craquelure and scattered minor pigment losses. Under natural light, scattered retouching, including to a circular area at upper left and along the lower right edge, is evident. Inspection under ultraviolet light is largely impeded by an opaque varnish. The work should be hung in its present state. The painting is offered with a simple giltwood frame.
