. In restored condition. Cleaned and re-varnished. There is evidence of very fine, delicate and sporadic infilling to parts of the sky to replace old flaked paint. The outline/definition and some of the finer shadows of the masonry throughout the picture are likely to have also been strengthened in addition to the drainpipe delineated approx. centre. Some of the retouching within the sky is evident by eye. Light surface dirt now in evidence. Otherwise in a broadly good state of preservation.

We are happy to provide Condition Reports to Prospective Buyers, but would welcome your request as soon as possible, preferably at least 48 hours before the Day of Sale.

We cannot guarantee a reply to any requests made within 48 hours of the start of the auction. The absence of a condition report from a lot does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition.

 A Condition Report is an honest expression of our opinion, not a statement of fact and is provided as a service to the Seller. All lots are available on public view ahead of an auction and we encourage people to see an item in person when possible.

Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers, and are prepared with the naked eye unless otherwise stated.

 Works are not examined out of the frame, unless specifically stated. We accept no liability for the opinions expressed in any Condition Report.
