Condition
The support is made of a single uncradled panel. Both the panel and paint surface are stable. The varnish is even and only marginally discoloured. Discoloured horizontal line retouchings along the grain in the sky can be seen by the naked eye. Ultra violet light confirms only these retouchings, no major damages are visible and the picture appears to be in good overall condition.
Offered in a plain wood frame with ripple mouldings in the Dutch style, in good condition.
