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.
This single-piece oak panel is in good overall condition and the paint surface appears to be well preserved. There is a single, very minor spot loss to the parapet (lower right). Examination under ultra violet light is obscured by the old varnish layers but the portrait appears to be in good original condition. The frame has a number of losses to the gilding.
