Old Masters & 19th Century Art

Framed: 26 1/2 x 24 x 3 1/2 in. (each)
Moderate deposits of surface dirt and dust; the painting with anemone and yellow daffodil is not lined and the lower stretcher is slightly bowed, while its companion is wax-lined and on non-original stretchers; each painting has a network of hairline craquelures throughout; spots of inpainting along edges of each artwork visible under close examination; both under a highly reflective varnish layer. Under UV light: the unlined painting has small spots and strokes of inpainting scattered throughout the surface, but none indicating any repaired tears or holes; the varnish on the lined painting has been selectively cleaned around the blossoms, with small spots and lines of inpainting within the petals and in some areas around the stems and leaves. 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.
