Condition Report

The frame is original to the work, and has been regilt in 22K gold leaf.

The work is not lined in the conventional sense of having been adhered with glue or wax to a new supporting canvas; in this case the original canvas was removed from its stretcher, a new linen canvas was then stretched onto the original stretcher, and then the original canvas was restretched and tacked over the new linen liner, without being adhered to the liner itself.

Retouch primarily clustered in the u.l. corner and down the left edge with a vertical line measuring about 7 inches, and two horizontal parallel lines measuring 3 inches each. A T-shaped area of retouch 1/2 x 3/4 in in the tree top at the top edge. Scattered minor dots of retouch overall. Stable craquelure, located primarily in the center sky and l.l. corner.

The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. Condition requests can be obtained via email (lot inquiry button) or by telephone to the appropriate gallery location (Boston/617.350.5400 or Marlborough/508.970.3000). Any condition statement given, as a courtesy to a client, is only an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. Skinner Inc. shall have no responsibility for any error or omission.
