Best in Show: Interiors, Featuring a Collection of Canine Art from the Estate of Ruth Havemeyer Norwood

Overall fine and relatively stable condition. The fingers on the rider's raised hand have been broken off and glued back in place. A small crack is visible to the horse's left rear leg. There is also a flake of glaze missing to the same leg. The sculpture includes an associated wooden spear which fits in the rider's hand; it is somewhat unstable when placed since it is not attached to the figure. One of the cloth reins is broken.

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.
