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。

This painting is executed on a uniformly thin sheet of copper that is nearly flat. The paint layer is stable, under a clear varnish, which has been unevenly applied. There is an extremely fine craquelure across the surface. In raking light scattered repairs to losses in the darkest area of the painting are visible. These restorations are also visible under ultraviolet light. Further inspection under UV was hindered by the opaque varnish. The painting is in fine state and should be displayed as is. The work is offered in a dark wood Dutch-style frame.
