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 delicacy and painterly approach to face and costume remain well preserved in this portrait. In a raking light a vertical passage of slight tenting can be seen down the left edge of the painting; this remains stable for the time being. There is some further evidence of a tendecy towards slight lifting in the background to the right of the sitter. There is an area of restoration above the sitters plumes, and some further scattered restoration, notably in the lower left and right corners. The canvas has been subject to relining; it is held under tension and remains stable. Examination under UV light confirms these observations. The feigned oval has been strengthened.
