The artist's board has been mounted to a stretcher for support. This stretcher was attached to the board via tacks that were applied through the recto of the painting. The tacks at the upper corners and at the center right edge are missing. There are a few spots of inpainting present, most notably in the lips of the sitter but also present just above the subject's right shoulder (viewer's left) and at her neck. A few scattered spots can also be found in the background in the upper left.
