Executed on cream wove paper which has been laid down to canvas. In the lighter pigments along the figure's forehead and on his proper left cheek there is minor hairline craquelure and associated pindot losses. There are a few creases to the paper, likely inherent to the process of being laid down to the canvas. Under UV light: no inpainting is apparent. This work is in good condition.
