Condition
The canvas has been relined. When examined under UV light, there is evidence of some retouching to the sky in the upper right corner as well as some further retouching to the left edge. There are other minor scattered flecks of retouching, in particular to the foreground. There is a circular push to the canvas causing a gentle indentation in the upper right quadrant. The painting is in very good condition.
