Condition Report

Frame: 46 x 40 inches. Canvas is lined. Heavy craquelure and spider cracks throughout, with minor instances of associated flaking to the paint layer both lower-right and lower-left. Two minor instances of loss to the paint layer. Examination under UV light reveals scattered, minor instances of inpainting and a relatively heavy, even varnish largely obscuring instances of repair or retouch.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition.
