Oil on paper laid down on canvas. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however there do not appear to be any signs of retouching other than a very fine line of possible retouching to a surface scratch (approximately 6cm long) towards the centre of the upper edge. There are a cluster of pin holes to the upper and lower left corners, and the centre of the left edge. This work is in good overall condition.
