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。

The sheet is hinged at the corners and center horizontal edges to the backing board and undulates slightly. The edges of the sheet are deckled. The sheet has shifted slightly in tone. Minor wear is occasionally to the edges and corners. Soft creases are occasional, most notably to the corner-tips and near the upper right corner. A tiny rub is near the left lower edge. Visible upon very close inspection and under raking light, very fine drying cracks are to the lower right quadrant in a dark blue painted passage. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
