The object is executed in oil on canvas. There are some observable areas of mechanical cracking in the following areas: 3 ½ in. from the left and 7 ½ in. from the bottom; 7 ½ in. from the right and 4 ¾ in. from the bottom. There is also very slight cracking at the bottom edge of the canvas near the center. There is a possible abrasion near the center of the canvas. There are two dark pinpoint specks near the top of the canvas, at the extreme left and right edges.
The frame is brass and is the artist’s original construction. The left and right sides are very slightly bowed near the center. The brass shows signs of wear throughout, and there are observable graphite marks around most of the hardware.
Flaking paint and gouges secured and consolidated. Replacement keys were prepared and inserted where previously missing, and uniform tension was adjusted overall. Esther Schmidt Siegfried, Chief Conservator, Art Conservation Laboratory (1997)
