The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
The canvas, stretcher and attachments are in generally good condition. All elements appear to be present and adhere well to the underlying support. There is a semi-circular brushstroke with ssome associated paint losses above the left eye of the figure, coherent with the artist's intention. The impasto is well preserved. The impasto is slightly flattened in the lower centre. There are some pinpoint-sized brown accretions in places. There are some soft handling marks and signs of wear to the printed sticker, coherent with the found object. Examination under ultraviolet light shows no indication of inpainting. It is our opinion that the work is in good condition.
