Condition
Oil on canvas, not lined. The surface appears to be in generally good condition aside from a small area of small white dots at lower center and some scattered white dots in the sky. The surface, however, is clean, fresh, and presents well. Under UV light, the surface is covered by a green fluorescing varnish. No apparent retouches are visible. The work is ready to hang in its current condition.
