Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is a varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV light appears to show no signs of retouching. There are some fly spots in the sky and some pigment shrinkage is visible in places. There are two tiny flecks of pigment loss to the upper centre of the sky, a small spot of pigment loss to the grass at the lower centre and some further flecks of minor pigment loss to the extreme edges. This work is in overall good condition.
