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 rubbing to the extreme corners. There is a faint handling mark to the upper left edge of the 'H'.There are a few minute accretions in places, most notably to the lower left vertical edge. There are a few superficial hairline abrasions in places to the lower horizontal edge, the largest measuring approximately 6in. When examined under ultraviolet light there appears to be no evidence of retouching. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
