Description

- oil on canvas
- 89.4 by 130cm., 35 1/8 by 51 1/2 in.
Provenance

Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals a few intermittent small spots of retouching to the upper left corner, upper centre edge and some small spots to the lower right corner. There is a small loss to the upper right corner of the canvas, some fine lines of craquelure mainly to the sky and some paint shrinkage to some of the green pigments. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the castle walls are slightly warmer in the original.
