Visual: Overall generally good condition. Specks of occasional grime in the upper right quadrant, fine craquelure scattered throughout, and small scattered areas of wear in the lower left quadrant, all commensurate with age. A pea-sized area of pigment loss (touched-in) near the center of the left edge. Frame abrasion along the extreme edges of the upper and right sides.

Blacklight: Small areas of touch-up scattered in the outer edges of the upper and lower left quadrants.

Frame: 24.25" H x 30.25" W x 2.5" D Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
