In fully restored condition, cleaned and re-varnished. Surface dirt and discoloured varnish now in evidence. "Her own growing" tiny retouch to the lower right corner. There is little to discern under a UV light concerning both of the other works otherwise and if there has been any retouching this is of a very delicate and un-visible standard. Broadly in a good state of presentation.

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.

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.

Tennants Auctioneers do not cover damage to gilded wood or plaster picture frames, or to picture frame glass whilst the item is in our possession.
