Condition

Please note that the correct medium for this lot is tempera, pastel and charcoal on canvas. The canvas is unlined and tightly stretched. There is very slight buckling to the lower left corner. There is also a 1 ½ in. scratch extending from that same corner—but perhaps inherent to the work. Overall, it is in excellent condition.
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.
