Interiors

Framed: 17 x 13 3/4 x 2 1/2 inches.
Moderate deposits of surface dirt and dust; instances of pinpoint white paint droplets scattered throughout; one small area of inpainting in the upper left corner, within the background, as well as one small spot of inpainting in the boy's right knee, only visible under raking light; under a highly reflective varnish. Under UV light: the aforementioned areas of inpainting fluoresce; the varnish prohibits viewing older campaigns of possible inpainting, but additional areas of inpainting include strokes around both of the boy's arms, as well as pinpoint spots scattered through the lower half of the composition; the area within the boy's chest and along the left edge of the violin appear to have been selectively cleaned of varnish. Additional images 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.
