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 canvas has been relined. The original surface appears to have been made up of a number of pieces of canvas, with joins visible near the upper edge, and through the lower centre. There are surface splits (as seen in the illustration) visible by these presumed canvas joins. The picture is dirty, and has an old degraded varnish. There is a vertical white streak right of centre, also visible in the illustration.
There is scattered retouching to the surface, which is confirmed under UV light.
