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 composed of two boards with vertically oriented wood grain and measures approximately 3/16 inch thick. The panel was planed down on the reverse at one point in its history to accommodate a cradle, which has since been removed to allow the panel to bow slightly convexly. Several restored vertical cracks are visible, chiefly along the left and right edges, some of which have been filled on the reverse. The varnish is clear and the paint stable on the support. A fine craquelure is visible in natural light. Ultraviolet light reveals thin lines of restoration along the afore-mentioned cracks and join, the most substantial of which is to the vertical join running through the center of the panel. Further scattered retouching fluoresces in the cherubs at upper center, with only a handful of additional small, scattered passages fluorescing in the composition. The painting presents well and appears to be in a generally good state of preservation. It should be displayed in its current state.
