Condition
The canvas is unlined. There is extremely fresh and strong impasto throughout. There is very light fine and stable craquelure to the upper right corner of the sky. There is some frame rubbing around the periphery. When examined under UV light, there is a couple of spots of overpainting in the upper right corner, some retouching to the center of the left edge and to the center of the lower edge. The painting is in overall very good condition.
