Condition Report:
This work is in good condition. There is a small, very faint circle of discolouration on the top left corner of the canvas. On the left side edge there is a needle point prick to the canvas, visible only upon extremely close inspection. There is slight crack and associated loss of paint and an indentation to the canvas under the artist's English signature with restoration visible to the reverse. The frame has one chip to the top left corner and a very minor chip to the side of the bottom left corner edge. One chip on the bottom inner edge of the frame and two extremely small chips to the right far edge of the frame are only visible upon extremely close inspection. There are no visible signs of restoration under UV light.
The online images may represent colours and shades which are different to the lot's actual colour and shades. Unlike a print catalogue there is no standardized colour profile to enable a constant visual representation for online media. In the absence of an industry certified media colour profile for viewing images online, each device whether it be an iPhone, Samsung, laptop, iPad, etc., will display the images to their own unique device setting, therefore the final visual result will always vary.
If a condition report is provided to assist you with assessing the condition of the lot, it is for guidance purposes only. Such condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alterations, or adaptations because Sotheby's is not a professional conservator or restorer but rather a condition report is a statement of subjective, qualified opinion genuinely held by Sotheby's. For these reasons, any such condition report is not an alternative to taking your own professional advice regarding the condition of the lot. Prospective buyers should also refer to the Guide for Buyers at Auction which includes important notices concerning the type of property in this sale.
