The painting is executed in oil on a linen canvas support which has not been lined. The canvas tension is good, there are minor undulations across the surface. The paint layer is in a very good condition overall. There are a few small losses around the edges of the picture. In the thick white areas of the painting drying cracks have formed as the paint layer dried. Drying cracks are also present in the darker paint passage at the bottom of the picture. The varnish has yellowed with age but is even and glossy.
