The painting is executed in oil on a canvas support which has been lined. The lining has affected the painting causing an uneven surface texture. The paint layers are stable and secure. The varnish is dull and has become brittle with white hazing occurring along the age cracks in some areas. Areas of overpaint are mainly located in the background. There is a thick layer of surface dirt present.
