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。

Gouache on card. Hinged to the mount at the reverse centre edges. Some frame abrasion with associated minor wear to the edges. A diagonal flattened fold at the lower-right corner. A soft crease at the upper-left corner and a few further handling marks elsewhere. One artist’s tack hole at the centre of the circle, inherent to the artist’s technique. A few thin lines of craquelure, mainly in the white pigments. Some light-staining with associated spots of foxing in places, mostly visible on the reverse. Minor surface dirt. Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that this work appears to be in generally good condition.
