This work has been removed from its original stretcher and relined, though the original center stretcher bar has been retained. Under UV, there are some areas of abrasion to the extreme edges that have received retouching. These are specifically concentrated along the upper edge, in some areas extending an inch into the canvas and along the lower and right edges to a lesser degree. The area around the signature has been abraded, but the signature itself has not been retouched. There are a few small carefully applied strokes of retouching in the deer's face, otherwise the deer's figure appears largely free of retouching.
