The painting has been cleaned and re-varnished and retains its original canvas. The right hand side of the figure's flesh has been relatively consistently re-touched : across the chin up and across the side of her nose, her left hand side temple and also running from her left hand side shoulder, collar bone, throughout her left hand side breast, and largely throughout her left hand side arm. The painting retains otherwise good surface and is in stable condition. The work has been seen by a restorer and his opinion the re-touching is not necessarily replacing losses to original paint.

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.
