Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The surface has recently benefitted from a topical cleaning by Amann + Estabrook Conservation and as such the surface is clean and the colors are far more vibrant than they appear in the catalogue illustration. The canvas is well stretched and there is no evidence of restoration under UV light. Framed in a wood frame with a gilt face.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.

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.
