Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is a layer of varnish which is difficult to read through, however UV examination does reveal some areas of fluorescence to the roofs at left and towards the rock. Some very minor and stable craquelure to the purple and green pigments at the center. Some very gentle undulation to the upper left corner. This work is in overall good condition.
