On cradled oak panel support. Panel displays slight convex bowing, most apparent in the corners. Frame abrasion at edges. Yellowing to the varnish layer. Finely patterned craquelure throughout with a few instances of more pronounced vertical cracking. Scattered small dots of abrasion and minor loss. Surface dirt and dust, primarily appearing as whiteish accretions affecting the lower half of the work. Not examined out of frame.
Under UV: heavily applied varnish fluoresces green unevenly, somewhat obscuring the picture surface. At least two campaigns of restoration are visible, appearing above and below the varnish layer. Both campaigns are comprised of brushy retouching throughout the background and the sitter's costume. A few more finely applied dots and dashes of retouching to the figure's face.
