Purchased at the above sale by the present owner

Condition

The panel is sound, though slightly undulating. There is a 7cm. by 1cm. line of retouching to the lower left edge, a 2cm. sq. area towards the centre of the left edge and two 2cm. sq. areas of retouching towards the lower left edge, all of which are visible under UV light. There is a 2cm. thin scratch to the centre of the sky, most probably intrinsic to the artist's process. Overall, this work is in good condition.
