Visual: Overall good condition. Dust accumulation and grime commensurate with age. Stretcher bar creases along the four sides. Fine craquelure scattered throughout the figure. A 1" horizontal scratch with attendant pigment loss near the upper edge, at left.

Blacklight: Areas of touch-up scattered throughout. Difficult to read under heavy varnish.

Frame: 61.5" H x 51.5" W x 4" 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.
