The painting is executed in oil on artists’ mill board with a supplier's label for C.E. Clifford on the reverse which is well preserved. The support and paint layers are in an excellent condition overall. The varnish is clear, even and semi-matte. In the lower right corner are raised, translucent lumps which fluoresce strongly under ultraviolet light and appear to be related to the varnish.
