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 reverse of the panel is elegantly carved to form patterns of concentric circles, suggesting the painting was originally conceived as a type of portable portrait, protected by a matching lid. The paint is stable on the support. A pinhead-sized loss is visible on the frame at upper center (see catalogue illustration). The varnish is relatively clear, but cloudy in a few places. Ultraviolet light does not reveal any retouching, and the painting appears to be in lovely condition.
