Condition
The canvas has not been lined. The colors appear fresh and vibrant. A few thin and stable lines of cracking are visible to the light brown pigment in the upper left quadrant as well as to purple pigment at center and the dark green pigment at center right. Under UV light: there are some possible small strokes of retouching around the extreme outer edges of the perimeter and to the upper-right most region of the sky, though a thick layer of varnish is difficult to read through. The work is in good condition.
