St. Louis Spring Auction

Under natural light, the surface of the composition appears to have several lines of craquelure in the upper right, and the varnish has yellowed. When examined under ultra violet light, there are 6 small spots of inpainting (each approximately the size of a pencil eraser) scattered throughout the trees in the bottom half of the composition. The varnish is quite aged and appears milky under u.v. 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.
