Framed: 23 1/4 x 20 1/4 x 3 7/8 in.
Recently professionally cleaned and varnished. Significant craquelure throughout the canvas, with scattered instances of lifting paint. Some yellowing near the edges. Scattered pinpoint to small indentations to the surface. A very small paint chip in the bottom right corner, and a slightly larger but still very small paint chip below the black beetle near the bottom right corner. Under UV light: the highly reflective varnish prohibits viewing of any possible inpainting. 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.
