This relined canvas is held under tension and remains stable. There is an old yellowing varnish across the paint surface. A restored irregular vertical tear is visible in the upper right corner and across to the lower right. Ultraviolet examination reveals a thick obscuring layer of varnish that prevents proper examination, however confirms the above, with some more recent retouching to the red cloak of the figure in the lower right corner.
