Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals some scattered small retouchings in places (almost all pin-sized) and mainly concentrated in the sky. There are some fine lines of stable craquelure throughout the composition and which are visible in the catalogue illustration. There are a few tiny paint losses in places related to the craquelure and which occurred before the work was recently consolidated by a restorer. Overall this work is in fairly good condition.
