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 uncradled panel is composed of two horizontal boards measuring approximately 3/8 thick with two butterfly joins on the reverse and beveling along the right edge. A shallow notch has been carved along the reverse of the panel join, presumably to accommodate a baton which has since been removed. The varnish is clear, if slightly uneven, and the paint stable on the support. A thin line of lightly discolored retouching is visible along the panel join in natural light. Ultraviolet light confirms this retouching and a few scattered lines of retouching in the upper right background to close the wood grain. The painting appears to be in a very fine state of preservation with the details of the still life reading clearly. The painting can be hung in its current state, though revarnishing may create a more even surface appearance.
