The canvas is wax lined. The surface is slightly dirty with some slight rubbing visible at the upper edge. There are a few small surface stains, mostly above the edges. Under UV light: there are approximately five spots of inpainting in the background between the left edge and the figure's chair, near the center of the left edge. There are a few pin dot retouches at extreme upper corners and a hairline stroke near the center of the right edge to address a two inch surface scratch. Otherwise fine, the work is in good condition.
