Condition
The canvas is in stable condition, it is unlined but has probably been re-stretched in the past and thus the paint surface is somewhat pressed. Otherwise the paint surface is in very good condition: the colours have not deteriorated and details remain very crisp. The paint is covered by a dirty old varnish. Restoration is limited to some tiny specks of retouching in the lower centre, and one or two spots in the sky.
