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.

The panel is made up of two oak planks, which are in good, stable condition. There is a somewhat uneven varnish, and a fine pattern of craquelure to the picture surface. There is a more prominent, distinct pattern of craquelure in the lower left section (as visible in the illustration) possibly created by the shrinking of a varnish used in that area. The examination under UV light shows scattered retouching from different restoration campaigns, and a slight loss of clarity in the drawing. Overall the picture presents well, with the detail of the figures generally preserved.
