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。

It is in our opinion that the work is in overall good condition. The work is structurally sound and stable. A few abrasion marks and scratches scattered across the surface of the work. A tiny dent on the upper left edge of the head. Upon close inspection, a thin layer of surface dust associated with minor mould can be observed. Slight scratches present mainly on the reverse of the work. Rust is present occasionally on the joint area. Other texture variations and irregularities are assumed to be consistent with artist’s chosen material and working methods. When examined under ultraviolet light, no apparent retouching can be seen.
