Condition
Original canvas. The canvas undulates very slightly in places but otherwise appears sound. There is a small pressure mark to the blue pigment in the lower right corner. There is some wear and very small flecks of loss to the pigment in several isolated places, most apparent to the edge of the river bank in the lower right corner. There is some frame abrasion apparent at the lower left corner. There are several very fine lines of craquelure to the blue pigment underneath the bridge at the lower horizontal edge of the canvas, with a tiny fleck of associated loss, only visible upon very close inspection, with one or two extremely fine lines of craquelure elsewhere. There is a small scratch to the right of the figure in the lower right quadrant, with associated loss. There is some light surface dirt across the work. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching.
The work is presented in a simple wooden frame.
