The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
The work has not been examined unframed and tape is affixed to the side edges of the canvas. The canvas is slightly slack and faint stretcher bar impressions are to the upper edge and to center. Minor wear, rubbing, hairline tension cracking and some losses are to the corner-tips and turning edges. Nascent cracks are scattered to the lower register, most notably to the lower right quadrant and near the bow of the cello and another faint one is to the upper right corner. A few pinpoint losses are below center to the lower edge of the cello in a brown painted passage. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
