The canvas is supported with a glue lining and the paint is stable on the support. Under natural light, the varnish is clear. A fine craquelure is visible at lower left. A pentimento of a standing man is slightly visible near the lower left corner. Scattered, discolored retouches are visible over a 5 inch area in the sky at center, above the flag. Under ultraviolet light, scattered minute touches of strengthening fluoresce in the sky. Retouching is also visible along the wooden pole at lower right, as well as over a few 1 inch areas near the lower left corner. The painting may be displayed as is.
