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

Young Boy and His Puppy:
signed A.K. Stoddard (lower right)
oil on canvas laid down to panel
30 x 25 in.

The work has been laid down to panel. In overall good condition. With light rubbing at center right in the background, accompanied by a few minor paint losses. Examination under UV light reveals a thick layer of milky green varnish throughout the composition. We notice broad inpainting in the background along the right outer edge of the canvas. Some more meticulous inpainting at bottom left corner, along with the area around the dog's face (likely old inpainted flakes). Minor retouching by the child's outer lips, and in a curl of his hair at upper center. 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.
