Oil on canvas, not lined. There is a stable web of craquelure over the entire picture. There is a small bump to the upper center edge, potentially something between the stretcher and the canvas. Tack holes are visible along the upper edge. Under UV light, there are scattered lines of retouching in the sky to address the previously mentioned craquelure. There are also scattered dots and dashes of retouching to the tree trunk and the leaves to the right of the figures.
