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 relined and is providing stable support for the picture. There is a fine pattern of craquelure to the surface and there is an aged varnish. There is some thinness to the flesh tones and draperies, notably the darker pigments, resulting in a slight loss of definition.
The examination under UV light shows scattered retouching to some of the flesh tones, to the darker tones of the drapery and the background and to some flowers. There may be some older retouching beneath the varnish.
The flowers appear quite well preserved in general, with the drawing and pigments reasonably well preserved. Overall the picture presents well.
