The painting is executed in oil on a canvas support which has been lined. The canvas tension is stiff and the picture is in plane. The paint layers are worn and abraded in areas. There is a network of age cracks which appear dark in passages of the flesh and are slightly raised in some areas. Areas of old loss have been filled and retouched, the fills are smooth and the retouching poorly matched. The varnish is clear, even and semi-matte. There are numerous scuffs to the surface.
