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 attachments appear to be in generally good condition. There is a fine layer of surface dust. There are some minor linear deformations to the canvas, only visible under strong raking light. There is some minor rubbing and fine tension cracks to the corners and extreme edges, with some associated pinpoint paint losses. There is a minor loss to the canvas with associated fraying to the left horizontal edge. There are some very fine drying cracks in places, most visible to the lighter brown brush strokes in the right half. When examined under ultraviolet light, there appears to be no evidence of any retouching. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally good condition.
