Condition
The following condition report has been provided by Simon Parkes of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc. 502 East 74th St. New York, NY 212-734-3920, simonparkes@msn.com , an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's.
This painting on canvas seems to be in beautiful state. It has most likely never been cleaned and the paint layer is very dull. The inscription in the upper left is in pencil and shows quite darkly under ultraviolet light, yet not in any way that would cause one to believe it to be unoriginal. The painting would most likely clean if carefully approached.
