Condition

The canvas is lined. Examination under UV light reveals retouching along all four edges due to frame rubbing, most notably the upper and left edges. There are further small scattered spots of retouching predominantly to the sky. There are some flecks of discoloured residue to the lower left corner. This work is in overall good condition and could benefit from a clean.
