Condition

Not examined out of the frame. Gouache on paper laid down on panel. There are 7 pinpoint sized holes scattered in the dark background, which could be quickly retouched by a professional conservator to unify the composition. Surface dirt and dust. The surface appears to be in overall good condition aside from minute craquelure and associated minor pigment loss in the more thickly applied whites, which is expected given the age of the work.
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.
