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.

Please note these condition reports are in the order the paintings are illustrated in the catalogue.
The first:

The canvas is supported with a glue lining and the paint is stable on the support. Under natural light, the varnish appears cloudy. A fine craquelure is visible in places such as the flower petals and over the glass vase. Discolored strengthening is visible along the left edge and scattered scuffing is visible along the lower edge due to frame contact. A few drying cracks are visible on some of the leaves. Ultraviolet light does not easily penetrate the old varnish, which fluoresces a milky green. The painting appears not to have been cleaned in a long time and there may be further strengthening to the background, which is not visible under natural light. The painting would likely be improved with a sensitive cleaning and saturating varnish.
