Condition

Executed on thick beige wove paper, not laid down. There are remnants of old framer's tape visible along the edges of the reverse. The lower edge is slightly irregular. A close inspection reveals an artist's pinhole in each of the upper corners and another in the upper left quadrant, towards the corner. Otherwise, apart from some light time-staining and scattered spots of foxing visible on the reverse of the sheet, this work is in very good 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.
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.
