Condition

Executed on cream laid paper with a Vidalon-Les-Annonay watermark, not laid down. The edges are slightly irregular. The sheet is hinged to the mount at the upper corners. There are five artist's pinholes in the upper half of the composition: in the center of the upper edge, in each of the upper corners and two to the upper edge of the pitcher. The tip of the upper right corner is torn and has been restored although this is not visible when framed. Apart from some light time-staining, this work is in very good condition.

Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
