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 painting is executed on paper, which has been laid down to an approximately ¼ inch thick wooden panel that bows convexly slightly from left to right. The panel is uncradled and exhibits beveling along all four edges. Under natural light, the varnish appears slightly yellowed and a little cloudy in places. There are two small losses visible at the extreme left edge at center and at the upper corner. The paint is stable on the support, and maintains a lovely impasto. Ultraviolet light does not easily penetrate the old varnish, but overall the painting appears to be free from significant retouching and is in a lovely state. The painting could be hung as is, but would likely brighten and respond well to a sensitive cleaning.
