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.
The canvas has been laid down on panel. There is a small split (approx. 5 cm.) to the left left edge of panel (as viewed from the reverse). There are two further minor losses to the edge of the panel. The paint surface is stable. Examination under ultra violet light reveals retouching to the neck and robe with some infilling associated to the craquelure in the face and some minor strengthening to the edge of the panel.
