Condition
This work is in particularly good condition. It is a fairly small work painted on artist's board. There is no visible staining, abrasion or weakness to the paint layer or any other condition issue. In the upper right in the perimeter of the dark cloud, there are a few pale spots which are visible to the naked eye that correspond to tiny retouches. There do not appear to be any retouches within the remainder of the picture.
