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 is supported on the reverse with a glue lining. The paint layer is stable under a clear varnish that has slightly yellowed with age. There is an overall network of fine lines of craquelure. There is a disturbance to the dark background at upper left. Inspection under ultraviolet light confirms a few scattered small areas of retouching, including to the extreme edges to address frame abrasion. An opaque varnish impedes further inspection. The painting presents well and can be hung in its present state. The work is offered in a simple giltwood frame.
