What Do You See? The Collection of Sidney Rothberg, Part III

Unframed.

The relined canvas in overall fair to fine condition. As the work is unframed, we notice some abrasions, paired with intermittent losses, alongside the four outer edges of the canvas (more so the lateral ones and at right specifically). With surface soiling spread across the bottom right quadrant and at bottom center on the white drapery, which informs us the painting is in need of a light cleaning. We notice localized areas of craquelure webs, which slightly raise on the surface of the canvas (see on the green jug as well as on the right foot of the table). With stretcher bar marks faintly visible, more so across the top edge. Examination under UV light reveals splashy green varnish throughout, which glows inconsistently. No restoration is visible. 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.
