拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

The panel is made up of one board bevelled to the lower edge and the lower half of the vertical edges. A knot in the wood at upper centre has caused a small split in the panel of approximately 2 cm. visible to the front and back. This has caused a minor loss to the upper edge, which has been repared with flller. The panel is stable. Examination in natural light shows some slight thinning to the paint glazes, especially in the darker passages of the background. There has been some retouching to these darker passages. There has been some retouching to the skin tones and whites, most noticeably where the grain of the panel has begun to show. There is some surface dirt to the varnish. Examination under UV light confirms the aforementioned retouching. The varnish precludes further commentary. The paint layers are stable and the composition of the piece fully appreciable.
