拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

The panel consists of one sheet of wood and is bevelled on all four edges. The varnish is slightly dirty and minor surface dirt is visible. In natural light no obvious damages or retouches can be detected. Minor frame abrasions visible along the edges. Original impasto and pigments appear to be very nicely preserved. The paint layer is secure and in good condition. Overall the painting appears to be in good and authentic condition. Inspection under ultra violet light reveals an unevenly applied varnish and a few minor cosmetic retouchings in the upper corners. Varnish lights up green making a more detailed reading difficult.
