Condition
The following condition report has been provided by Simon Parkes, Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc. 502 East 74th St. New York, NY 212-734-3920, simonparkes@msn.com, an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's. The work is in beautiful condition. The canvas is still stretched on its original stretcher. The paint layer is cleaned and varnished. There are two or three small marks on the center lower edge that show strongly under ultraviolet light. These may be retouches, but they are certainly very old and could be original to the artist. The work should be hung as is.
