Condition
The canvas is not lined. Close inspection reveals a thick varnish. There is a tiny paint loss in the upper right corner. Under UV light, two dots fluoresce in the upper right and left corners, suggesting restored frame abrasion with one patch above the left rick and two smaller dots in the sky. Otherwise this work is in good condition.
