This relined canvas is held under tension and remains stable. The painting appears to be in a good state of preservation, with some thinning over time in the lighter passages, such as the red cloak. Ultraviolet examination reveals delicate strokes of strengthening in the face, around the right eye and the forehead, and some retouching to the darker passages at the bottom of the red cloak. There is further retouching around the edges of the canvas, associated with frame wear. The artist’s technique remains highly appreciable.
