Outsider Art

There are 7 horizontal sets of marks from bottom to top from rolling the canvas up over the work's lifetime. A main mark with residual smaller marks. Color saturation is still good. Multiple areas of crazing of paint from odd combinations of watercolor mixing with the varnish that was used. The piece of jewelry is attached solidly to the canvas. Signature on front bled a little from the varnish. Various smudges and grime are consistent with treatment and age of piece over the years. This work is in fair to good and stable condition.

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.
