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 painting is executed on paper, which has been laid on panel. The panel support has a slight convex warp. The front of the painting is uneven and there are areas where the paper is not completely flat against the panel support, which has resulted in ridges and losses, for instance in the sitter’s left cheek and through her nose. There are some tears and losses to the paper, most notably along all edges. There are additional tears for instance through the sitter’s neck. The paint surface is covered in an old degraded varnish, which has discoloured yellow, as is particularly evident in the flesh tones and whites of the sitter’s headdress. There is also a layer of surface dirt. Examination under ultraviolet light confirms the presence of the old degraded varnish. Some scattered retouchings are evident, for example in the sitter’s flesh tones, however, the thickness of the varnish precludes full examination.
