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 has been executed on a very thin sail cloth, and is housed in a frame that covers the side edges. The painting has not been examined outside of the frame. There is minor pilling in places to the sail cloth. The cloth undulates in a few small areas near the heavier painted passages. There are two hairline cracks at the base of the blue tree near the lower edge. Under ultraviolet light, a repair is visible with associated inpainting at the base of the blue tree, and a few small spots of inpainting are visible to the associated cracks mentioned above.
