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 sheet is hinged to the backing board at the corner-tips and periodically along the edges and undulates. The edges of the sheet are deckled. A few fine indentations are to the upper left edge in a green painted passage, just above the watermelon in a green painted passage, and to the lower right corner, all presumably in keeping with the artist's working method. Creasing is to the found paper elements, likely in keeping with the artist's choice of medium. A tiny accretion is to the upper right of the pink watermelon and a few spots of discoloration are to the lower right corner in white painted passages. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
