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.

- trimmed to or just inside the borderline.
- extensively retouched in pen and black ink and touches of grey (?) wash, particularly some contours of the figures, faces and draperies.
