Le tableau a fait l'objet d'un rentoilage. Il est sur un châssis rapporté, à clefs. La toile est détendue et gondole par endroits.
Le tableau possède un réseau de craquelures un peu prononcé ayant entraîné des soulèvements et manques par endroits. On constate à l'oeil nu des restaurations dans le ciel.
L'examen à la lumière UV révèle les restaurations précédemment mentionnées ainsi qu'une vielle restauration dans le tronc d'arbre au centre. Le tableau est sous un vernis vert épais, uniforme qui dissimule des restaurations plus anciennes que l'on devine par endroits.
