Additional Notes & Condition Report
Frame rubbing, with particular wear along the upper edge. Wax-lined. Could use a light clean; scattered cracquelure.
Impasto is quite flat, most likely from lining. No restoration visible under UV light. Dense varnish layer and surface dirt (including what looks like spilled coffee under raking light in the man's right cheek). Some minor losses to surface. Condition commensurate with age.
Any condition statement is given as a courtesy to a client, is only an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. Doyle New York shall have no responsibility for any error or omission. 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.
