Condition

The catalogue illustration is slightly over-exposed and the painting is warmer in tones than it suggests. The canvas has a recent relining and is mounted in a modern wood gilt and moulded frame with some losses. To the naked eye the painting appears in very good condition and does not bear major damages or restoration. Inspection under UV light confirms its excellent condition and reveals only a restoration on the dark background, to her right, and another one on her breast.
"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.
