Old Masters and 19th Century Art

Framed: 31 3/4 x 24 3/4 x 3 in.
Minor deposits of surface dirt and dust; very fine craquelures throughout, primarily visible within the women and their dresses, but only under close examination; otherwise in overall good and stable condition. Under UV light: minor inpainting in scattered areas along edges to address frame abrasion; fine lines of inpainting through the right-hand woman's neck, shoulder, and dress to address craquelures; several small spots scattered through both women's dresses, with a slightly larger spot of inpainting to the front edge of the right-hand woman; small dots of inpainting in the background between the women's heads; a line of pinpoint spots of inpainting along the nape of the left-hand woman. Additional images available upon request.

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.
