Oil on canvas which has been lined. The canvas tension is good and the picture is generally in plane with a few minor undulations around the edges. Losses and damage have occurred to the edges of the painting which have been filled and overpainted. The background is very worn and the red ground is visible in areas. There are scattered areas of overpaint across the background which is now slightly darkened compared to the original. There are localised areas of cracks within the paint layer, notably in the area of the signature. The varnish is yellowed and semi-glossy. There is a layer of surface dirt and some white accretions along the lower edge.
