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。

Painted on a characteristically open-weaved canvas, the work has been relined and retains a good tension on its stretcher. The corners have been made up. There a few surface scratches and some minor scuffing along the edges. The paint surface is stable, but it has been somewhat flattened by the relining treatment. The artist's painterly technique remains appreciable throughout and the picture presents well overall.
Examination under ultraviolet light is largely obscured by the old varnish layers but reveals one small area of retouching associated to a historic paint loss in the yellow mantle of the figure, upper left. The picture would otherwise appear to be in good original condition.
