拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

The canvas has an old glue relining and is firm on its stretcher. The paint surface is stable and clean beneath a clear varnish with a craquelure pattern in keeping with its age. There is a minor retouched loss in the brown drapery of the standing figure lowered left and another minor filled retouched loss in the shubbery in the background upper right, both faintly visible to the nakey eye but not distracting.

Inspection under UV reveals very minor, finely applied retouching to the figures in the foreground, minor areas of retouching in the background shrubbery upper right and restoration on the upper left and upper edges. All of this has been sensitively applied.

The painting requires no further intervention and is ready to hang in its present state. Offered in an elaorately carved giltwood frame.
