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 work is hinged periodically along the edges and to the corners to the backing board. The sheet undulates slightly. Minute tears are along the side edges, and a repaired tear, measuring 2 inches, is to the upper edge, right of center, all presumably in keeping with the artist's choice of a found support. Faint abrasions, handling marks and creases are visible intermittently throughout and are presumably all in keeping with the artist's choice of support. Faint water stains are to the upper edge, and a small passage of skinning is to the left edge, near the corner, both presumably in keeping with the artist's choice of support. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
