Condition
The following condition report has been provided by Simon Parkes of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc. 502 East 74th St. New York, NY 212-734-3920, simonparkes@msn.com , an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's.
This painting has been quite recently restored and if the varnish were to be freshened slightly, it should be hung as is. The canvas has been lined. The paint layer has been cleaned and varnished, and in general seems to be in excellent condition.
As one would expect from a picture of this period, there are a few accurate and isolated retouches which are visible under ultraviolet light. They are almost entirely confined to the background, particularly on the left side and even here they appear to be limited. The small amount of restoration has been accurately applied and the condition generally is very good.
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.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
