The following condition report was kindly provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.: This work is in beautiful condition. The paint layer is clean and varnished. The canvas is unlined. It is originally made from two pieces of canvas joined horizontally about 12 inches from the bottom edge. This join is clearly visible, but shows no signs of movement or damage. There is one structural repair on the reverse addressing a very thin vertical break in the canvas in the background of the left side, which measures about 14 inches. A few of the separation cracks and some of the grainy texture in the paint layer has been retouched on the left side above the hand. Some original pigment in the figure reads strongly under ultraviolet light, but this does not correspond to retouching. Almost all of the retouches are on the far left side. The picture should be hung in its current condition.
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.
