Condition

The canvas has been relined. There is craquelure throughout the work, particularly in the darker pigmented areas around the figures. Under UV light inspection there appear to be multiple large areas that have been inpainted. There are most likely more than 2 different restoration attempts—one focusing on the areas along the right and left edges as well as the upper corners, and another mostly around the bodies of the figures.
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.
