Condition Report

The canvas has been relined, the paint surface is slightly dirty and the varnish has darkened a bit. The painting is in overall fair condition. There are some small areas of paint that are beginning to flake above the sitter's head and in the lower right corner, but they appear stable. There are some very small discoloured patches of retouching to the right of the sitter and in the very top of the foliage, upper left. Inspection under ultraviolet light is hindered by the opacity of the varnish and only reveals retouching to the aforementioned blemishes.
"In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective, qualified opinion. Prospective buyers should also refer to any Important Notices regarding this sale, which are printed in the Sale Catalogue.
