In decent, stable condition overall consistent with age. Canvas has been re-lined. Craquelure throughout. Four vertical streaks of gray paint to the canvas, the longest of which is approximately 7 1/4 inches. Areas of retouch visible with the naked eye on the woman's face, neck and bosom in the form of white patches. General layer of grime to the surface of the canvas. Minor depression to the canvas in the upper-right register over the window. Examination under UV light reveals an overall varnish and scattered areas of retouch, particularly evident on the bodice of the dress and the perimeter of the visible canvas where it meets 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.
