Condition Report

The date appears to be 1867 or 1869.

There is a second, somewhat illegible inscription on the reverse in a different hand, perhaps reading "Mrs. E Gray." The work also bears the number 36670-1 in pencil on the reverse.

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.
