The relined canvas is held under tension and remains stable. The paint surface has suffered over time, with signs of previous lifting and flaking, now stabilised, resulting in paint losses, particularly in the lower quadrant. There is scattered retouching throughout, with a repair to a vertical tear in the lower right. Ultraviolet light confirms the above. The integrity of the artist’s handling remains appreciable.
