Condition
In general, the colours have remained fresh and sharp, although the blue pigment in the sky has faded very slightly. There is an area of light staining which has lightened parts of the sky. Despite this being visible, it does not disrupt the overall balance of the composition. The work has not been examined out of its frame.
