The present lot was authenticated by the late Françoise Cachin when previously offered at auction. We wish to thank Madame Marina Ferretti for confirming the authenticity of the present lot again, which will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Provenance:
Hôtel Drouot, Paris, sale of June 10, 1971, lot number unknown.
Acquired directly from the above sale.
Private European Collection.
Sotheby's, London, sale of February 9, 2005, lot 271 (as Venise).
Acquired directly from the above sale by the present owner.
Framed: 25 x 30 x 3 in.
In overall very good condition. The sheet is laid down to a larger sheet of paperboard at all four corners and along its edges, so it is impossible to inspect its verso. With very fresh colors. The sheet is slightly toned. Very light mat staining around the four outer edges, with evidence of handling and surface soiling at the extreme edges (especially visible along the bottom edge). The edges of the sheet are all straight and complete. We do notice a loss at bottom right corner (about 0 3/4 x 0 1/2 in/), which as a result made the date partially readable. Otherwise no other sign of tear, loss or restoration. The back of the paperboard onto which the sheet is laid down appears rather toned on the back, with evidence of foxing (which doesn't affect the sheet). 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.
