The canvas has not been lined. Ultraviolet light reveals a few small signs of light green fluorescence which would appear to correspond to retouching, notably a small repair in the sky to the right of the figure's hat, in the distant hill near the centre of the extreme left edge, and a slightly discoloured thin vertical line parallel to the left edge in the sky. This work is overall in good original condition and is ready to hang. Held in a simple gilt and black painted frame.
