Palm Beach Furniture & Decorative Arts

Framed: 35 1/2 x 30 inches.

The canvas is lined. There is flat but stable craquelure throughout the canvas. The whites on the figure's trousers are very thin due to excessive cleaning; further thinness in the sky. Under UV light: the varnish is old and opaque and very difficult to read. There is however a good amount of inpainting on the figure, horse and the background, particularly on the trees at upper right.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
