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。

Oil on canvas. Not lined. Varnished. Some slight abrasions and associated rubbing and minor discolouration to the edges. Some light surface dirt and a few pinpoint surface accretions. Upper horizontal and central stretcher bar marks slightly visible. Examined under ultra-violet light: a few small dots of retouching in the sky along the horizon. And some uneven fluorescence along the lower edge. The surface is difficult to read due to heavy varnish. Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the artwork is in overall very good condition.
