George Henry Bogert, (American, 1864-1944), Grand Canal, Venice

General layer of surface dust and grime to the canvas. Heavy craquelure throughout. Scattered areas of mildew accumulation, as well as instances of blooming to the varnish. With two large repaired tears. Examination under UV light reveals a milky varnish that largely obscures evidence of repair or retouch, although two dark patches do fluoresce.

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.
