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。

Structural Condition

The canvas is unlined and is securely attached with staples to the reverse of the artist’s original fixed wooden strainer. The canvas displays good tension and is inscribed by the artist on the reverse. The overall structural condition appears to be very good.

Paint Surface

The paint surface has the artist's original unvarnished appearance and the paint appears secure throughout. Upon close inspection, faint hairlines of craquelure are visible to the immediate left of the sitter's face. These appear stable. Inspection under ultraviolet light shows the paint surface to fluoresce unevenly, as is characteristic of the artist's materials. The lines of craquelure also have a faint fluorescence and a few very small spots of retouching can be seen.

Summary

This work would therefore appear to be in good and stable condition.
