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 canvas retains a good tension on its stretcher. The paint surface has been flattened by the relining treatment and there is evidence of lifting in the foreground, lower left, near the signature, and a smaller area in the upper right section of sky. The former area of lifting should be stabilised to avoid potential future paint losses. However, the wealth of narrative detail remains appreciable throughout the composition. There is a small loss to the horse’s stomach with an associated retouching.
Examination under ultra violet reveals scattered strengthening to the sky and foreground with some minor retouching (associated to craquelure) in the horse.
