The painting is generally in good condition. The picture surface is stable and it appears to have been relined and restored, but not recently. There is some moderate craquelure to the picture surface, as well as mild indentations made by the stretcher. There are a few small areas of dirt to the picture surface, which would benefit from being cleaned, as well as some wear around the left edge, possibly dating to when it was last relined. There is some damage and loss to the frame. Please see additional images available on request.

In terms of provenance, the painting comes from a good local Dorset collection.
