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 painting presents well overall. The canvas has a glue lining and the varnish is clear. There is a diagonal surface scratch measuring 20 inches in the background at upper right, but it does not distract from the overall composition. Strengthening is visible in the figure's hair, beard, and eyes. There are two small repaired tears in the figure's chest, each measuring approximately 2 inches in length. A few further scattered retouches are visible in the sky and in the throne. Inspection under ultraviolet light revealed some additional strengthening to the sitter's right shoulder and the calf of his crossed leg. The painting can be hung as is.
