Condition
The canvas has not been lined. There is some minor flaking in the far lower right corner, mostly covered by the frame. There are some spots of old discoloured varnish in the sky in the upper right corner which are visible to the naked eye. Ultra-violet light reveals some minor spots of cosmetic retouching along the extreme upper framing edge and one c-shaped stroke in the lower right corner. Otherwise, this work is in good condition and ready to hang.
Presented in gilt frame.
