Original canvas. The canvas appears sound. There may be a tiny speck of loss to one of the tips of impasto in the upper left quadrant. There is some very light surface dirt in one or two places, and some light specks of matter, only visible upon close inspection. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in excellent overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals some areas of fluorescence, which are thought to be in keeping with the artist's materials.
The work is presented in a painted and gilded wooden frame.
