The canvas has not been lined and there are some small undulations to the left framing edge. There is a light vertical surface abrasion in one of the lemons to the right, and a small dent next to the fourth lemon to the right. Signs of uneven fluorescence are visible under ultra-violet light, notably in the red pigments in the lower half of the composition and in the Chinese lanterns, however these appear to be the artist's pigments.
