Condition Report

Each with a label from A.P.F., Inc., Framemakers and Conservators, New York City, on the frame backing boards.

There is minor old retouch to the backgrounds of both works. It does not affect the birds themselves, and is very subtle. The most noticeable area is on the painting with the tan breasted woodcock (rather than the whiter one), where there is a line of retouch after the shadow cast by the nail. This area just appears slightly more mat than the rest of the background.

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.
