The painting appears to be painted onto card formed from three sections with additions at the top and left sides. The card has been laid onto a wooden panel. The panel is formed from three boards in vertical alignment. The joins in the panel have opened and wood slightly warped. This warping is evident on the surface of the card with bows backwards in the central section. The paint layers are in a good, stable condition overall. There are areas of overpaint present, mainly located in the background. The varnish is thick and glossy. 89 x 70cm framed
