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.
Not examined out of frame. The edges of the canvas are covered by the frame. There is a fine layer of surface dust. There is minor rubbing with associated pinpoint paint losses to the extreme edges. There is minor fraying to the extreme lower horizontal edge. There are hairline cracks with associated lifting and paint losses predominantly to the left half of the composition with the most visible paint losses being in the light pink background in the upper left quadrant and to the orange jumper of the figure. There are some further fine hairline cracks to the flower with associated pinpoint paint losses. When examined under ultraviolet light, there appears to be no evidence of any retouching. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally good condition.
