Old Masters & 19th Century Art

Framed: 35 3/4 x 29 x 3 in.
Moderate deposits of surface dirt and dust; a vertical seam in the panel running from the upper center edge to the lower center edge, extending through the man's ear, neck, and torso; pinpoint spots of abrasions in his right eye, as well as two vertical lines of the abrasion to the varnish extending from the center right edge; inpainting appears to be present, but difficult to discern due to the highly reflective, thick varnish. Under UV light: the thick varnish prohibits full viewing of any apparent inpainting to the background; small strokes of inpainting scattered through the man's face and collar. 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.
