Condition

The canvas has not been lined. Ultraviolet light reveals no visible signs of retouching (some of the pigments in the clouds appear to fluoresce under U.V. light, however these certainly appear to be the artist's original and not retouching). Apart from some light superficial surface dirt this work is in good original condition. Presented in a gilt frame.
