Oil on canvas. Not lined. Varnished. Some frame abrasions with associated areas of rubbing and paint losses in places along the edges. Some networks of fine and stable unobtrusive craquelures throughout. A very few small drying cracks in the dark green pigments towards the lower right corner. The stretcher bars very slightly showing through. Examined under ultraviolet light: some spots and small areas of cosmetic retouching throughout; some corresponding to skillfully filled in craquelures and some to potential tears with their corresponding small patches on the reverse.
