Condition

This early print, slightly warm-toned and on paper with a surface sheen, is mounted to slick off-white board. It is in generally very good condition. Upon close examination in raking light, a few matte deposits of indeterminate nature, minor scuffing, light soiling, and tiny deposits of retouching are visible overall. The right and lower edges are rubbed, and the emulsion is intermittently lifting slightly. The periphery and reverse of the slick mount is lightly soiled from handling, and the tips of the mount corners are creased.
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.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
