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。

It is in our opinion that the work is in overall fair condition. The work was inspected without a frame. Slight and faint abrasions around the corners and edges. Faint and negligible handling marks along the extreme margins and edges. Stable and minor paint losses scatter very occasionally on paint surface and the edges. Minor surface dust. Several pinpoint bubbles holes scatter occasionally which are consistent with the artist’s choice of medium. Stable and hairline cracks scatter occasionally on paint surface and predominantly on the lower part. There is a 2 (H) x 2.5 cm patch on the lower left of the reverse. When examined under ultraviolet light, no apparent retouching shows.
