Condition
The board is sound. There are some very minor scattered lines of horizontal surface craquelure along the grain of the board otherwise in good overall condition.
Under ultraviolet light there are some very small minor specks of retouching in the centre of the sky, two specks by the centre right edge and two by the centre left edge.
Held in a stained wood frame with canvas inset.
Please note that the colours are more vibrant than the catalogue illustration suggests and that the dark spot in the centre left sky does not exist in the actual picture.
