The canvas has not been lined and provides a stable support. There is some surface dirt across the work. There are some areas of fine craquelure, particularly in areas of thicker paint. There is a stretcher bar mark down the left and right edges, and down the centre of the work - there is some associated cracking to the paint down the centre mark. There are three areas where the paint is lifting slightly and has resulted in some small flakes of loss; namely, a vertical line radiating from the centre-left of the upper edge and measuring approximately 10cm; a horizontal stretch of approximately 15cm to the right of the lower framed edge; and a small area to the centre of the right edge. Inspection under UV light reveals no clear evidence of restoration or retouching.
