Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however UV examination appears to reveal no signs of retouching. There is some pigment loss to the extreme edges due to frame abrasion and two further flecks of pigment loss to the sky at the upper left corner and to the shadow at the lower part of the composition. There is some craquelure to the sky with some minor flecks of associated pigment loss. This work is in overall good condition.
