The canvas is lined. There is a thin 6cm. intermittent line of retouching and three pinhead-sized spots of retouching towards the upper left area above figure's face, visible under UV light. There is craquelure throughout the canvas, though primarily in areas of thick paint application. There is a stretcher mark running horizontally along the upper edge of the canvas and some frame rubbing to the lower right edge. This work is in good condition.
