In fully restored condition. Re-lined, cleaned and re-varnished. Over painting to upper left hand side and relatively sporadic re-touching throughout the upper background. Strengthening to outlines and definition of the vegetation on the right hand side with additional re-touching to the outer edges at most parts of the edges. Re-touching to the lower part of the gauzy material nearest the viewer and more isolated highlights mostly within the pink dress. The rounder fleshier elements of the skin of the raised arm and hands, the girls faces etc appear to have been probably more recently embellished. The overall surface is a little on the flat side from the restoration processes,but still carries some detailing and texture in places.

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.
