19th Century European Art and Old Masters

The unlined canvas is framed under glass; the painting has not been examined out of its frame. There is some visible though generally unobtrusive surface craquelure. Under ultraviolet light there are some hue disparities which, in the approximate upper half of the canvas may well be a result of uneven residual varnish. There is some scattered retouching to parts of the approximately lower half of the canvas, including to parts of chest of drawers and shoes at left, some retouching to area below shelf at right, some generally minor retouching to parts of figures, and more pronounced restoration at lower right in foreground including at lower right corner.

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.
