Condition
The actual painting is darker in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests.
The canvas is relined. Minor thinness occurs throughout and the paint layer suffered from dryness. The paint layer is flaking somewhat in the tower centre right. The paint surface is under a coarse cracquelure pattern and covered with an old and dirty varnish layer. A few retouched spots are visible in the lower centre. Inspection under UV-light is obstructed by the old varnish layer.Offered in a plain wood frame, in fair condition. (JD)
