Original canvas. The canvas undulates slightly and has a push mark towards the upper right vertical edge but otherwise appears sound. There are two pinholes apparent along the left vertical edge. There are one or two scattered lines of craquelure, predominantly in the sky area. There is some light surface dirt and the work may benefit from a clean. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good overall condition.
