St. Louis Fall Auction

Canvas appears to have been thinly skinned and laid on a pressed board. When examined under ultra violet light, there is a line of horizontal inpainting in the upper right corner extending approximately 1.5 inches from the right edge and continuing as very small scattered spots within the surrounding foliage. There are very small scattered spots of inpainting below this in the rocks on the right, and also within the water in the lower right - all quite insignificant. There are a few small lines of inpainting within rock and foliage on upper left. All of this restoration is done extremely well, and composition shows nicely in natural light.

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.
