Original canvas. There are faint horizontal stretcher marks visible near the left hand edge. There is a small area of craquelure in the upper left corner.

The surface appears slightly dirty with some occasional scuffs and marks scattered throughout. There are two small patches and one larger path on the verso. There are some very minor specks of paint loss to the eyebrow of the right hand figure, only visible upon close inspection.
UV light inspection reveals areas of retouching to the right hand edge and occasional retouchings to the lower and left hand edges. There are further areas of retouching to both figures. There is a larger area of retouching to the floor in the lower right hand quadrant approx. 20cm wide corresponding to a patch verso.
