The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals a few thin lines of retouching to the figure's proper right arm and in the light yellow pigment notably to the drapery and to the figure's chest. There are minor areas of stable paint shrinkage to the background. There is a faint stretcher-bar mark to the lower part of the composition. There is some slight frame rubbing along the extreme edges. This work is in overall very good condition.
