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 painting is executed on paper, which has been laid down to an approximately ¼ inch thick wooden panel that bows convexly slightly from left to right. The panel is uncradled and exhibits beveling along all four edges. Under natural light, the varnish appears slightly yellowed and a little cloudy in places. There are two small losses visible at the extreme left edge at center and at the upper corner. The paint is stable on the support, and maintains a lovely impasto. Ultraviolet light does not easily penetrate the old varnish, but overall the painting appears to be free from significant retouching and is in a lovely state. The painting could be hung as is, but would likely brighten and respond well to a sensitive cleaning.
