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 is reinforced on the reverse with a glue lining which retains good tension. The varnish is yellowed and the paint stable on the support. A fine craquelure is visible in natural light. Under ultraviolet light, the aged varnish fluoresces green, inhibiting full inspection of the work. A handful of fine strokes fluoresce along the upper edge in the sky, as do scattered pinhead sized dots of retouching, presumably to address abrasion to the high points of the canvas weave, in and around the central figures. The painting can be enjoyed in its current state or conserved, according to taste.
