Condition
The medium is oil on canvas, unlined. There is some frame rubbing to the extreme edges with associated in-painting visible under UV light: to the left of center at the top edge, about 4 in. long; at the upper right corner and edge, about 5 in. long; and in the upper left corner along the top of the left edge, about 3 in. long. There are also scattered smaller areas of in-painting in the sky, the largest around 3/4 in. wide, just inwards from the the upper right edge. The colors are bright and strong, and generally the work presents very well.
