A sheet of heavy paper or thin cardboard has been inserted between the canvas and the stretcher, serving as a kind of backing, and this material shows some gentle rippling. There is some extremely minor canvas rippling at the corners of the front, suggesting that the stretcher keys should be adjusted slightly. There are two tiny areas to the background where the artist may have removed brush-hairs or lint from the paint surface.
