Planta Capitone

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, stretcher and attachments appear to be in generally good condition. There is minor canvas draw to the upper corners and lower left corner. There is some minor rubbing to the corners and in places to the extreme edges and a few pinpoint accretions in places, predominantly to the extreme edges. There are hairline drying cracks in places, the most visible being along the left vertical edge. There are a few pinpoint paint losses to the extreme edges, to the centre of the upper left quadrant and near the upper left vertical edge. When examined under ultraviolet light there appears to be no evidence of any retouching, subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally good condition.
