Condition
The canvas is not lined. There are some areas that fluoresce under UV light, probably retouching, to the sky in the upper left quadrant, an area to the right side of the horizon and further scattered spots of fluorescence throughout the sky. Apart from some faint lines of stable craquelure throughout, this work is in fairly good condition.
Colours: The yellow tones are slightly stronger in the original.
