Condition report:
The items show evidence of heavy professional use with significant aesthetic wear. Both wooden easel frames exhibit extensive dried paint staining and splatters, particularly in shades of green and blue on the lower supports (photo 1 and 3). The metal legs attached to the field box show surface oxidation and one leg appears slightly bent (photo 4). The canvas shoulder strap is discoloured with minor fraying to the edges (photo 4). The included paint tubes are part-used, with many appearing dented and featuring dried paint residue around the caps and bodies (photo 2). All artist materials are sold as part-used and their remaining volume or viability is not guaranteed.
