Condition
The canvas has not been lined. The surface is clean and the colors are fresh. A very small patch of craquelure is visible in the upper left quadrant. Under UV light there are scattered pindots and thin lines of inpainting to the top center of the sky and lower left corner. Overall this work is in very good condition.
