The painting has a glue lining and is secure on a keyed stretcher. A thin strip of wood has been added along the upper edge to fit the frame. The paint surface is slightly dirty and the varnish has yellowed considerably. The height of the impastos is diminished by the lining canvas. Some minor retouching is visible along the extreme edges of the canvas, these are hidden when the painting is framed. Inspection under ultraviolet light is hindered by an opaque varnish. The painting can be displayed in its current state, but would benefit from removing and replacing the discolored varnish.
