Condition

The panel is sound. The surface is slightly dirty but a rich impasto is well preserved throughout the sky. The edges of the panel are slightly uneven with a few scattered nicks, however this may be original as the painting does not extend fully to the extreme edges. Under UV light no inpainting is apparent. The work is in excellent condition.
