What Do You See? The Collection of Sidney Rothberg, Part III

Framed: 25 x 33 1/4 in.

The relined canvas in overall fair condition. The paint has been applied very thinly. With very thin craquelure visible at upper center in the foliage (slightly raising up) and on either side in the sky. Examination under UV light reveals a thick and heavy layer of old greenish varnish throughout. Restoration appears extended. First, alongside the lateral outer edges of the painting. We also notice at times localized, at other times broad, restoration campaigns. See at upper center left and center right in the sky (likely an old flaking condition) as well as in the foliage throughout. Broader restoration visible in the bottom tier, mostly on the path at bottom left quadrant. Additional images available upon request (including under UV).

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.
