Condition
Canvas is not lined. Painted on a thickly woven canvas that lends the surface a rich texture. Under UV light there is a nail-head size dot of inpainting in the center of the dome to address a prior loss. The area behind the date at lower right fluoresces but appears to be original pigment. Very good condition.
