The canvas has been cut and laid on another canvas. The top tacking edge of the underlying canvas is missing, meaning that the canvas is only secured to the stretcher along three of the edges. There is adhesive tape along all four edges. There are minor abrasions along the edges and some remnants of gold leaf at the right edge. There is some scattered craquelure and a light layer of surface dirt. Inspection under UV light does not reveal any obvious signs of retouching. Held in a modern gold coloured frame. Unexamined out of frame.
