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 painting presents well overall. This canvas is lined and secure on a keyed stretcher. The varnish has yellowed slightly with age. There is a cleaning test visible along the lower edge of the canvas, measuring 1 inch in height. Inspection in natural light shows small touches of restoration in the white dress along the cleaning test strip. Further touches of restoration are visible in the sitter’s proper right arm, in the arm of the chair at lower left and along the extreme edges. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals some strengthening in the shadows of the sitter’s proper right arm and hand. Further strengthening can be seen in the sitter’s hair. The painting can be hung in its present state.
