Restoration and cleaning of the painting was executed by James Roth of the Nelson Gallery in 1965. At that time, he re-lined the canvas with linen, removed varnish and overpaint, and applied a new coating of varnish.

Presently, there is modest craquelure across the surface, but not to a distracting degree. There are two areas of relatively minor scratches (one to the top left above the figures' heads, one to the mother's garments left of her elbow), and there is a minor loss of a chip of paint (1/8") to the top left-center. The antique frame has some losses to the gilt gesso.
