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 canvas has been subject to relining; it is held under tension and remains stable. The paint layer remains stable, and the impasto has not been too adversly impacted by the reline. Examination in natural light shows some thinning to the yellow and orange tones. The dark over-layer of the background has thinned to allow the red ground to show through. There is a fine pattern of craquelure visible in the paler passages of the composition. The paint layer remains stable. Examination in UV light reveals historic retouching to the craquelure across the surface. The old varnish is cloudy and precludes a more in-depth examination. The integrity of the artist’s painterly technique remains appreciable.
