The canvas is unlined. There are stretcher markings on all four margins as well as vertically down the center of the painting. There is fine craquelure throughout, particularly in the areas marked by the stretcher. Under UV light inspection, the painting appears to have been evenly varnished with scattered retouches, mostly in the sky area. Overall, the work is in very good condition.
