Scattered areas of loss to the painted surface, or where the paint is thinly applied to the board. Scattered areas where what appears to be an underlying layer of white paint shows through. Scattered tight age splits to the surface of the wood board with resultant cracks to the painted surface, particularly evident on the blue sky and clouds. Light vertical abrasions along the left edge of the board, perhaps the result of a previous frame. Minor patch of gold-tone paint to the upper right corner of the board, together with gold-tone horizontal lines along the upper and lower horizontal edges of the board. Examination under UV light causes the gold-tone patch and horizontal lines to fluoresce slightly. Frame: 21 1/2 x 26 5/8 inches. Board: 17 5/8 x 23 inches.

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.
