Condition report

Watercolor is on paper laid down on paperboard. Actual size of watercolor is 10 11/16 x 18 1/2 in. Backing paperboard measures 10 7/8 x 18 5/8 in. Thumbstack or pin holes at UL/UR corners, and at lower outer right edge. As visible in catalogue photo there are some large, diffuse foxing spots in parts of sky. We believe there is some toning in sky, possibly due to light staingin - as very outer edges of sheet appear brighter in color in sky. Comparing actual work with catalogue illustration, the actual work is a bit darker and less washed out than it appears in the catalogue. Overall, apart from the condition issues noted above, the work appears in generally good condition and with fresh colors.

Descriptions provided in both printed and on-line catalogue formats do not include condition reports. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. Interested bidders are strongly encouraged to request a condition report on any lots upon which they intend to bid, prior to placing a bid. All transactions are governed by Freeman's Conditions of Sale.
