St. Louis Fall Auction

Has been examined under UV light. There is surface residue splattered across the composition, linen matte and frame - it appears to be brown and sticky and fluoresces under UV light. There is a small splotch of possible inpainting in the sunset - the pigment appears to be the same yellow/white as the sunset but it fluoresces under UV light. There is a very small pigment loss (1/16 inch in diameter) in the upper left quadrant of sunset. Painting is framed. In natural light, shows well from a distance; upon close inspection, residue and imperfections are noticeable. Additional photos available upon request.

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.
