The canvas is not lined and slightly undulating. There is no evidence of retouching under UV light. There is a small hole with associated pigment loss towards the lower right corner, a small line of pigment loss (approx. 5 cm long) towards the centre of the lower edge and some other small areas of pigment loss in places, notably along the left edge.
