Overall good condition with dust accumulation, specks of grime, surface scuffs, craquelure, pinhead-sized or smaller areas of scattered pigment loss, and slight darkening, all commensurate with age. Two 1.5" vertical indentations into the wood with slight pigment loss near the lower edge, at center. Abrasion along the extreme edges with attendant loss to the pigment and wood panel. Areas of touch-up along the edges of the inner image. 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.
