The painting is executed in oil on a canvas support which has been lined. The canvas tension is good, there is a minor vertical undulation near the centre of the picture in the sun, caused by the stretcher bar behind. The paint layers are stable and secure. There are small, old losses, at the junction of the age craquelure, mainly located in the sky. Areas of overpaint are present across the surface which are well matched to the original. The varnish is thick and glossy.100 x 135cm framed
