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 sheet is hinged to the backing board at the corner-tips and periodically along the edges and undulates. The edges of the sheet are deckled. A few fine indentations are to the upper left edge in a green painted passage, just above the watermelon in a green painted passage, and to the lower right corner, all presumably in keeping with the artist's working method. Creasing is to the found paper elements, likely in keeping with the artist's choice of medium. A tiny accretion is to the upper right of the pink watermelon and a few spots of discoloration are to the lower right corner in white painted passages. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
