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. The canvas is slack and undulates slightly, most visible to the upper and lower horizontal edges. There are stretcher bar impressions near the vertical edges. There is some minor rubbing to the corners and further points of rubbing in places to the composition, most visible to the upper half of the canvas. There is a thin layer of surface dust. The varnish layer is uneven and has yellowed. 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.
