The canvas is not lined and inspection under UV light reveals a thick varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating. However, UV light reveals minor retouching to the extreme right edge. There is some minor pigment shrinkage and craquelure visible in places throughout the composition. The canvas retains its thick impasto and the work is in overall good condition.
