The panel, constructed of three vertical planks, is cradled to the reverse. The paint surface is a little dry and could benefit from a surface clean and revarnishing. There is some surface scuffing and a few tiny losses associated to the panel join visible in the upper right of the composition. There are a few discoloured retouchings, eg. to the sitter's forehead.
Examination under ultraviolet light is largely obscured by the old varnish layers but does reveal some retouching to the face.
