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。

This painting is executed on a panel comprised of a single board with a vertical grain. The panel has been beveled along the edges. There is a slight convex bow. A crack at lower center measures 8 inches and supported on the reverse with a baton that has been inserted into a channel in the thick panel. The paint layer is stable and exhibits a fine craquelure. A fluid underdrawing is visible through the paint layers, following the contours of the female sitter's face and body. Areas of restoration in the flesh tones are visibe in natural light, and have discolored slightly with age. These restorations are also visible in raking light and follow the vertical wood grain. Further restorations to the background, mirror, and to the male sitter are visible in ultraviolet light. The painting presents well and can be hung in its present state. The painting is offered in a carved and giltwood frame.
