The canvas is reinforced on the reverse with a glue lining and a patch on the reverse. A fine craquelure is visible in raking light. The varnish is clear and the paint stable on the support. Under ultraviolet light, the varnish fluoresces unevenly, with only a small passage of restoration to address a restored hole in the upper center of the painting notable. Aside from some age-related thinning to some of the darkest passages in the background, the painting appears to be in a very good state of preservation. The painting has been recently restored and should be displayed in its current state.
