Condition

The canvas is not lined. There appear to be no signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is an uneven varnish, mainly towards the centre of the composition, preventing UV light from fully penetrating. There are some areas of light craquelure mainly in the left half. Otherwise, apart from a few fly spots in the sky, this work is in very good condition.
