Light to moderate accumulation of white-ish mildew on the surface of the upper left canvas. Stretcher mark visible along the lower edge. Light to moderate craquelure throughout. There is a slightly discolored area around her proper left shoulder that appears to possibly be overpainted to the naked eye, but does not fluoresce under UV light. Examination of the entire canvas under UV light did not reveal further signs of restoration. Additional photos available upon request. Frame likely 19th century. Frame in overall good condition, stable, with fairly even gilt finish, having some typical age cracks and minor losses with small areas of gesso exposed.

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.
