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 work is executed on a single beveled wood panel of horizonal grain. It is stable on its support. Batons have been added to each edge. The pigment layer is stable and under a clear varnish that has slightly yellowed with age. With minor frame abrasion to the extreme edges. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals touch-ups along the edges to address the aforementioned frame abrasion and further scattered lines of strengthening. Further inspection was hindered by a semi-opaque varnish. The work can be hung in its present state and is offered with a simple giltwood frame. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the condition of frames.
