European Furniture and Decorative Arts

Framed dimensions 32 3/4 x 26 1/2 inches.

The painting appears in overall good, stable, and ready to hang condition. The paint surface is even with a very faint pattern of craquelure throughout. The colors are bright and attractive. There is a scratch and approximate 1 inch long loss (along the scratch) to the paint in the lower left corner and a few white scuffs in the paint surface near the feet of the group of figures. This work has been varnished and examination under UV light reveals scattered touch-ups and in-painting to some of the figures. The canvas is lined. Additional images are available upon request.

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.
