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 work on paper is in quite healthy state and is backed, but not adhered, to masonite. The edges are a little torn across the bottom, there are some old creases and a two inch tear in the upper right.
The paint layer seems to be very robust. It does not appear to have faded and the paper does not appear to be unduly dirty. Some effort should be made to repair the tears in the upper left, upper right and lower center, and the picture will then be ready to hang.
