oil on paper laid on canvas
Unframed: 44 by 60cm.,17 by 23½in.
Framed: 57.5 by 73.5cm., 22½ by 29in.
The canvas has been relined. Ultra-violet light reveals old residual varnish layers which fluoresce opaquely, and some minor signs of retouching, notably: strokes along the upper edge, a spot in the upper-right, and along a thin S-shaped line near the centre of the composition (visible under raking light, and possibly an old repair).
