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.
Each canvas supported on the reverse with a glue lining. The paint layer is stable and under a clear varnish that has yellowed with age. With minor frame abrasion to the extreme edges. With very minor surface soiling and some faint lines of craquelure. There are no visible touch-ups under natural light. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals some light touch-ups and lines of strengthening. Further inspection was hindered by an uneven varnish. The works can be hung in their present state and are offered with giltwood frames. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the condition of frames.
