Condition
Stable board, there are very fine horizontal fine surface cracks appearing, most noticeably to the sky and the centre right quadrant, in keeping with the grain of the board. There are slight chips to the extreme corners, only visible upon extremely close inspection, in keeping with the nature of the artist's technique.
There is very minor surface dirt and slight traces of studio detritus, but this excepting the work appears to be in excellent overall condition, with bright, vivid colours throughout.
Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouchings.
Float-mounted in a thick white-painted wooden frame.
