St. Louis Spring Auction

This painting shows well in natural light, though a section of craquelure resulting in pigment flaking is visible in the lower left of center. There are also a couple of very small spots of pigment loss along the lower edge and along the upper left edge. There is a light indication of a stretcher mark also visible in the upper left. When examined under ultra violet light, there is no indication of visible restoration. Additional photographs 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.
