拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

The sheet is hinged to the backing board at the upper corner-tips and periodically along the upper edge. The sheet undulates slightly and the upper and lower edges are deckled. Artist's pinholes are to the upper corner-tips. Minor wear with creasing and a few tiny nicks are to the corner-tips and edges of the sheet and a scuff and handling marks are to the left upper edge. Very fine drying cracks with slight skinning are to the lower left corner in light blue and lime green painted passages and more are to the larger black head near the right edge. Visible under close inspection and raking light, fine surface scratches are to the upper center edge, possibly in keeping with the artist's working method. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
