Condition
The canvas is not lined and examination under UV light reveals no signs of retouching. There are some flecks of pigment loss to the extreme edges, primarily the upper and lower edges, consistent with frame abrasion. There is some minor craquelure in places, primarily to the sky. This work is in overall very good condition.
