Condition

The canvas is unlined. Under ultraviolet light there is unusual fluorescence in some of the pigments, in particular areas in the clouds in the center and to the left of the sky appear to fluoresce, however these may well be the artist's original pigments. There are also two small areas near the upper edge to the extreme left which may relate to retouching. The painting is otherwise in good condition and is ready to hang. Sold unframed
