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 painting is executed on paper, which has been laid down to an approximately ¼ inch thick wooden panel that bows convexly slightly from left to right. The panel is uncradled and exhibits beveling along all four edges. Under natural light, the varnish appears slightly yellowed and a little cloudy in places. There are two small losses visible at the extreme left edge at center and at the upper corner. The paint is stable on the support, and maintains a lovely impasto. Ultraviolet light does not easily penetrate the old varnish, but overall the painting appears to be free from significant retouching and is in a lovely state. The painting could be hung as is, but would likely brighten and respond well to a sensitive cleaning.
