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 copper plate is good condition, providing stable support for the picture. The picture is in good overall condition, with an even layer of varnish and a harmonious appearance. The examination under UV shows some minor scattered spots of retouching to the figure, and to the background, in some cases to address very small losses. There is a slightly more concentrated area of retouching the the right, near the hat/drapery over the knee, where some further paint loss has occurred. Overall the picture presents well.
