American Art and Pennsylvania Impressionists

The relined canvas in fair to fine condition. Examination under UV light reveals restoration along the right outer edge of the canvas, and at upper right. Dots of inpainting are also visible the sky at upper center and upper left quadrant (relatively minor). We also see a repair that spreads at center left, stretching from the left outer edge. Broad inpainting at bottom left around the miniature boat. Series of mid-sized dots of inpainting at bottom right. The boy appears relatively untouched, but we notice some contouring highlights. See Specialist's pictures for more details. 

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.
