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 work is structurally sound and all elements are present. Minor wear and rubbing are infrequently to the turning edges of each element, and a few hairline drying cracks are to the upper left extreme edge of the lower element. To the upper element, a tiny accretion is to the upper left tip and a faint hairline abrasion to the lower edge. Scattered tiny pale accretions are to the painted side edges of the lower element. Stray media is occasional, in keeping with the artist's working method and choice of medium. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
