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 painting executed on a single beveled wood panel of horizontal grain and stable on its support. Each very slightly differing in size. Each with its pigment layer stable and under a clear varnish that has slightly yellowed with age. Each with minor frame abrasion and a few scattered pinpoint pigment losses. Some scattered fine lines of craquelure. Full cry with a minor loss at the lower right edge. The signed version of 'The meet' with some disturbance at the lower right corner. Under ultraviolet light, touch-ups to the edges and to the grass in the foreground and lower left corner are apparent. The second example of 'The meet' with some additional surface soiling and wear to the edges. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals very minor touch-ups along the edges. 'The kill' was a small pigment loss at the upper left edge associated to frame abrasion. The works can be hung in their present state and are offered with simple giltwood frames. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the condition of frames.
