拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

The canvas, stretcher and attachments appear to be in generally good condition. There are minute stretcher marks to the extreme edges, only visible on close inspection. There are pinpoint paint losses to the extreme vertical edges. There are minute drying cracks to the impasto passages, most notably to the right figure. There are a few minor paint losses in places to the figures. When examined under ultraviolet light, there appears to be no evidence of any retouching. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
