Please note the revised description noting: retains old paint and traces of the original surface.
Appears to retain much of the original paint with areas of scattered in-paintings, particularly to her robes. Craquelure, surface wear and residue visible throughout. Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and handling. Scattered areas of loss to the paint. Under UV, the red robes fluoresce where they have been touched up, while the areas of over painting to the blue do not appear to show up. The blue shows variations in color, suggesting areas of touch up to the paint, but they do not appear visible under UV light. There is an old 1 1/2” diameter dent to her left shoulder. An old vertical crack along the proper right side of the base, but no concern for the structural integrity or stability.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
