The painting has been relined, with good canvas tension. The picture surface is stable, with varying degrees of craquelure throughout. Paint and varnish layers are in good condition. There is some rubbing around the edges of the canvas, along with some evidence of overpainting, especially around the depicted artist's palette and the foliage towards the top right of the painting. There is a horizontal line towards the upper right quadrant of the painting, perhaps indicating restoration. Some other minor surface abrasions are present, but overall the painting presents well.

The painting has not been examined under UV; please contact Chorley's if a full UV condition report is required.
