Visual: Dust accumulation, dirt, and grime commensurate with age. Heavy craquelure and paint shrinkage scattered throughout. Frame abrasion along all four edges. A horizontal crease in the canvas, through the center. Rubbing with attendant heavy pigment loss throughout, mostly near the upper quadrant, resulting in the canvas being exposed.

Blacklight: Touch-ups scattered throughout. Difficult to read under varnish.

Frame: 33.5" H x 27.5" W x 1.5" D Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
