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 first:
The panel is comprised of a single board with a horizontal grain. The panel is supported on the reverse by a single vertical baton that has been instered into a channel. Two small cracks corresponding the baton channel are visble at the upper edge and measure 1/2 inch each. The paint layer is stable, although slighlty dirty, under a clear varnish. There is a a very fine craqulure across the surface. Strokes of retouching are visible in the sky addressing the wood grain, mainly in the sky and along the upper edge. Further inspection under ultraviolet light revealed a campaign of strengthening along the contours of the composition throughout. The painting presents well and can be hung in its current state. The work is offered in a simple black frame with gold insert.

The panel is comprised of a single board with a horizontal grain. The panel has a slight convex bow and is supported on the reverse by a single vertical baton that has been instered into a channel. The paint layer is stable under a clear varnish. There is some frame abrasion and associated losses along the extreme edges. In raking light strokes of retouching are visible, which address the wood grain, mostly in areas of the sky. These retouches are also visible in ultraviolet light. Further inspection in ultraviolet light revealed scattered strokes of strenthening along the contougs of the figures and horses. The painting presents well and can be hung in its current state. The work is offered in a simple black frame with gold insert.
