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 canvas, stretcher and attachment appear to be in generally good condition. There is some minor fraying to the left extreme vertical edge of the canvas. There are some pinpoint spots of media residue near the upper horizontal edge, presumably in keeping with the artist’s working method. There are some pinpoint accretions in places, the most visible being in the lower centre of the composition. When examined under ultraviolet light, there is no evidence of any retouching. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
