Although due to its size the work has not been entirely removed from its frame for examination, it has been opened enough to determine that the poster is laid down onto primed linen. There are unobtrusive creases (some may have tears) especially to the edges of the work. The largest crease within the image is near the painter's head (see image). There are also some minor surface accretions to the background.
