Condition
The canvas appears to have been lined a while ago. The paint surface has some ingrained dirt. There are fine lines of craquelure in places throughout. UV light suggests that there may be strokes of older retouchings scattered across the sky, however the presence of an opaque layer of fluorescing varnish prevents a more conclusive analysis. Held in a moulded plaster and wood frame. Unexamined out of frame.
