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 attachment appear to be in generally good condition. There is some minor fraying to the left extreme vertical edge of the canvas. There are some pinpoint spots of media residue near the upper horizontal edge, presumably in keeping with the artist’s working method. There are some pinpoint accretions in places, the most visible being in the lower centre of the composition. When examined under ultraviolet light, there is no evidence of any retouching. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
