Condition
The board is stable. UV light examination reveals some scattered areas of retouching to the sky, mostly along the upper edge. Close inspection reveals some very minor paint shrinkage, mostly in the darker pigments. Otherwise, this work is in overall fairly good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the tones are richer in the original.
