Beyond a Cincinnati Legacy: The Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fleischmann III, Part II

Framed: 42 x 48 inches.
Not examined out of the frame.  Craquelure to the surface, with light surface dirt and wear. The Wiebold conservation report on back reads: “Canvas - break and damage area - right side table top - canvas dent shrunken - moisture press and blotter method. Hole covered with Belgian linen - bees wax and resin adhesive feathered. Damaged area, retouched and break filled white lead - refrained Demas - 2/1/64” A couple of small losses in the upper right quadrant. Examination under UV shows a fairly even varnish with a few areas of touch up in the background, some likely associated to the afore-mentioned patches. 

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.
