The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The canvas has a glue lining and is uneven on its keyed stretcher. The buckling is most apparent over the upper left and right corners. There is a fine craquelure across the surface. The surface is dirty and the varnish is slightly cloudy. In natural light restorations to the sitter's neck and small pinpoint restorations in her face have discolored with age. Dots of a white substance are visible at lower right. Small pinpoint losses are visible here and there along the craquelure. Inspection under ultraviolet light revealed a few areas of restoration in the dark background. The painting can be displayed in its current state.
