Oil on canvas, unframed. Minor stretcher bar marks visible. The picture surface is clean and fresh. There are two patches on the reverse. One corresponds to an L-shaped hole in the background to the right of the standing woman's head; the other corresponds to a horizontal tear in the canvas just below the standign figure's exposed right breast. Under UV light, these two areas show signs of retouching. The varnish fluoresces green and is difficult to read through.
