Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The tonal and textural shifts to the paint are inherent to the artist's working method. This is a 1/2 inch abrasion to the lower left quadrant, visible upon close inspection. There are scattered pigment losses to the artist's frame and a 4 inch crack to the wood along the bottom edge, visible upon close inspection. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Framed in artist's frame.
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.
