The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

This painting is executed on a thin sheet of copper, which has been fully laid down to a wooden panel. Thin wooden strips have been added along the edges to fit the frame. The paint surface is stable, with minor losses which have yet to be repaired scattered throughout. There is some pitting in the surface of the copper sheet, as seen in the catalogue image. A repair over the wine glass fluoresces under ultraviolet light. The painting presents well and is offered in a Dutch style black and gilt frame.
