The canvas is lined, the paint surface is clean and the varnish is clear and even. A distinct network of craquelure is visible throughout the painting. Inspection under ultraviolet light appears to reveal very little intervention for a painting of this size. There are fine lines of retouching scattered in the sky and along the lower margin, as well as to a few areas in and around the standing boy on the left, the sleeve of the bridegroom, and in the foreground below his feet. There are some other pin-prick retouchings scattered in the figures and in the sky below the arch. The painting appears to be in relatively good overall condition.
