The panel is uncradled and exhibits beveling along all four sides of the reverse. There is a slight convex bow to the panel running from left to right. The paint is stable on the support and the varnish generally clear and only minimally yellowed.

A slightly more concentrated area of retouching also fluoresces in her proper right shoulder and chest. The painting appears to be in very good condition and should be displayed in its current state.
