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。

We are grateful to Simon Parkes Conservation Inc. for preparing the following condition report (written communication 5 March 2021):

The canvas has never been removed from its original stretcher. There is vertical cracking that is slightly raised, particularly in the sky. This cracking can only be eliminated if the canvas is lined, which is not recommended. The paint layer seems to be clean. A few cracks have been reduced with retouching in the chest of the brown horse. There do not appear to be any other retouches. The work could be hung in its current state.
