Condition
09.24.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 3304: I note that the painting is presently intact and securely encased within accompanying framing, there are later stretchers and numerous patched repairs visible at the canvas verso, the canvas has been re-lined, with remnants of another previous wax re-lining, and retains tack edge, there is a visible arch-shaped seam where the original canvas was reworked into the squared shape it appears as now and attached to a larger canvas, the approx 4” wide area above this seam where the aforementioned later canvas begins, there are small inpainted spots throughout, and typical small flaked losses to pigment, particularly along the lower edge, please see attached images for review, including those highlighting areas of restoration under UV light
