Condition

This work is in generally very good condition overall. There are very minor cracks scattered throughout the painting. There are also slight cracks and marks of restoration along the far edges of the work. This is due to the fact that this work was originally painted on the canvas as well as on the frame. It should therefore be handled with great care when moved and the frame can possibly be reinforced. Not examined under UV light.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
