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 work on canvas board appears to have never been restored. The canvas is reasonably well adhered to the board and does not appear to have ever been cleaned or varnished.
Cleaning and varnishing the paint layer would not be appropriate however, there are some small retouches that will be required in the lower left and right, the upper left, along the edge and in some areas of the background across the top of the picture. This restoration would be academic and after it has been carried out, the picture will be perceived to be in very fresh condition.
