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 canvas, stretcher and attachments appear to be in generally good condition. The upper right horizontal stretcher bar is uneven. There are minor drying cracks to the yellow impasto passage to the upper left quadrant and one hairline drying crack to the grey impasto area to the centre right of the composition. There are a few minute tension cracks to the extreme right vertical edge. There is a pinpoint accretion to the white and grey impasto to the centre right of the composition. When examined under ultraviolet there appears to be no evidence of any retouching. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
