This work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. Cracks are visible under close inspection at the surface of the work, most notably along the edges and especially along the lower edge. Small losses of media are visible under very close inspection along the edges. This work has been carefully restored: hairline cracks have been stabilized and some small areas have been inpainted. Under UV light inspection, these areas fluoresce.
