08/17/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT :  1098-  please note that I am not an expert on such works, so have taken numerous images for your review, the canvas appears overall intact, a UV light examination reveals only some drips of varnish mainly noted to the lower left and inherent variation to the paint thickness, seemingly as the work was created, there are no apparent rips, tears or loss to the visible work, we did not examine the work under the dust cover and white backing, the frame exhibits scattered nicks and minor finish loss, there is some variation with lines to the finish, overall the work presents well with colors remaining vibrant
