Framed. The canvas has been relined, and the inscription to the reverse, with its reference to Wissing, will have been added at this later point. Picture surface is stable; although the picture has not been examined under UV, there are nevertheless signs of overpainting that are clear to the naked eye. There is a small, visible abrasion towards the upper left of the canvas.
