Dirty varnish. Edges with paper tape. There appears to be a small area of inpainting in the lower right corner. No further apparent restoration. The catalogue raisonne describes this work as being on paper mounted on canvas. We are unable to detect the canvas. It appears to be on paper laid down on panel.
