Condition
The canvas has been laid down on board. The canvas is slightly buckling in the upper left and lower right corners. There is a layer of surface dirt. There are abrasions with associated paint loss along the edges, most notably in the lower left corner where the paint is flaking. There are a few flecks of paint loss to the upper part of the green house and to the railings in the lower right. There are cracks throughout, which are slightly raised in places but appear currently stable. Inspection under UV light does not reveal any obvious signs of restoration. Held in a gold painted wooden frame. Unexamined out of frame.
