Condition

This condition report was kindly provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.: This painting is unlined and on its original stretcher. The paint layer is clean and varnished. There are three dots of retouching in the back of the dog seated on the far right and a couple of spots on the left foreleg of the dog in the upper left, but the condition is otherwise beautiful. The work should be hung as is.
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.
