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。

This canvas is lined and taut on a keyed trainer. The paint surface is stable. Inspection in natural light shows scuffing and losses are visible along the extreme edges. There is a larger loss in the lower right edge and a small loss in the background at center right, both of which has been filled with wax. Further small, unrestored losses are scattered across the surface, with the red ground revealed in certain areas such as the sitter’s nose, forehead, in the yellow of his proper left collar, and in the background. The background and collar in the lower right corner fluoresce under ultraviolet light. The painting could benefit from restoration, but can be hung in its present state.
