The painting is executed in oil on a linen canvas support which has not been lined. There are two patches on the reverse repairing old damages. The shapes of the patches have come through to the front and are visible in the paint texture. Areas of overpaint are present covering the damages. The canvas tension is slack with general undulations and stretcher bar marks visible running vertically through the middle of the picture. The paint layers are stable overall. The varnish is even, glossy and slightly yellowed but acceptable. There is minor abrasion to the varnish in some areas.
