Condition

The canvas is unlined, but there is evidence of glue patching in the lower left quadrant. The picture surface is in generally good condition, aside from being somewhat lightly painted in areas, and appears to have recently been cleaned and re-varnished. Under UV, there is a masking varnish that is somewhat drippy. There are two areas that fluoresce in the lower left quadrant, corresponding to the glue patches on the reverse.

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.
