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 canvas has been subject to relining; it is held under tension and remains stable. The relining process has slightly thinned some of the upper paint glazes. There is a fine pattern of craquelure across the surface; the paint remains stable. In natural light there is evidence of retouching to the sky, specific note should be taken of the upper left-hand corner. There is an old varnish that carries some dirt, this varnish has slightly flaked at lower centre. Examination under UV light confirms the aforementioned retouching. It reveals further scattered retouching, notably strenghtening to the figural group lower left and a section to the edge of the canvas at upper centre. There are two repaired tears at lower right; one vertical of approximately 30 cm. and one perpendicular of approximately 5 x 5 cm.
