Property from the Aline Elwes McDonnell Trust

On tin (?) – In generally fair to poor overall condition, the painting has planar distortions, so that the surface is not perfectly flat/even. There are areas of the painting that have visible scattered paint losses including near lower center and along parts of the edges. These areas are dark purple under u.v. light. There are several areas that appear grayish and linear-form in natural light which are indicative of restoration and are located at lower right, upper center right and upper center left

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.
