Canvas is lined. There are thin webs of stable cracking throughout the composition. There are a few minor losses along the extreme left and right edges of the canvas, probably from prior frame abrasion. There is a 5 in. area of possible repair about 1 in. to the left of the extreme right edge. Under UV light: certain pigments fluoresce but no inpainting is apparent. Overall the work is in good condition.
