Fine Furniture and Decorative Arts

In decent, stable condition consistent with age. Craquelure throughout, with general layer of grime to the surface of the canvas. Appears that the subject's proper-right hand has been retouched, and is awkwardly configured. General tight age splits and an area of loss in the lower-left corner. Examination under UV reveals an even varnish. Canvas is likely lined, given that the edges of the visible canvas fluoresce along the frame.

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.
