This authenticity of this lot has been confirmed by Mr. Olivier Lorquin. It has also previously been authenticated by Dina Vierny and is accompanied by a duplicate of the certificate from the same.
Provenance:
Maurice Sternberg Gallery, Chicago, Illinois.
A Chicago, Illinois Estate.
Christie's, New York, sale of May 13, 1992, lot 225.
Acquired directly from the above sale by the present owner.
In overall fine condition. The sheet is affixed to the underman alongside its top outer edge, meaning the verso can be inspected by lifting the paper. With beveled edges alongside all outer edges. All four corners are intact and no loss is noted. The sheet slightly lifts up at the bottom. With a horizontal light seam running across the top tier of the sheet, just under the figure's neck. The main condition issue resides in several brown, rusty colored spots dispersed through the sheet, which are apparent to foxing. 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.
