In an overall good state of preservation. Light surface dirt. Very subtle push mark to canvas on the left hand side background approx centre and also in line with her right hand side shoulder within the background with associated minor abrasion. There is tape around all four sides of the canvas which is lifting and coming away. Some relatively minor rubbing and losses along the top edge in particular and to a lesser degree on the other sides. There is a cluster of tiny sized nicks / missing paint to the canvas around her left hand, shoulder/ hair and hand area where the pale ground is showing through. Good thick impasto to surface. There is nothing to discern under a uv lamp. For any further information, please contact the department.

We are happy to provide Condition Reports to prospective buyers, but would welcome your request as soon as possible, preferably at least 48 hours before the Day of Sale. We cannot guarantee a reply to any requests made within 48 hours of the start of the auction. The absence of a Condition Report from a lot does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition. A Condition Report is an honest expression of our opinion, not a statement of fact and is provided as a service to the seller. All lots are available on public view ahead of an auction and we encourage prospective buyers to inspect an item in person where possible. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers, or engineers, and are prepared with the naked eye unless otherwise stated.

Regarding Pictures, Prints and Works on Paper, works are not examined out of the frame, unless specifically stated. Tennants Auctioneers do not cover damage to gilded wood or plaster picture frames, or to picture frame glass whilst the item is in our possession.

We accept no liability for the opinions expressed in any Condition Report.
