The canvas is in plane with good tension. In come areas the paint layer has an unusual surface texture caused by lining, but is stable and secure. There is some wear and abrasion to the paint layer and areas of retouching, notably along the upper edge, which are reasonably well matched to the original. The varnish is clear and even. The frame is slightly warped and there is wear and loss to the gilding.Overall size 56 x 88 cm
