The canvas is lined. There is a 4cm. sq. area of retouching to the centre of the upper left quadrant, some scattered specks of retouching just below it and a 5cm. area of retouching towards the top of the upper left quadrant. There is a 3cm. sq. area of scattered specks of retouching towards the centre right edge, some scattered specks of retouching to the standing figure in the lower right corner, a small area of retouching to the centre of the lower right quadrant in the lefthand beam of the stanchion and some minor scattered specks and lines of retouching along the lower edge; all retouchings are visible under UV light. The 'K' of Jongkind appears to have been strengthened, visible under UV light. This work is in fairly good condition.
