Condition
The following condition report was kindly provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.: This work is in excellent condition. The canvas has an old lining which is nicely supporting the paint layer. The stretcher is original. Under ultraviolet light, a spot or two of retouching can be seen in the white clouds in the upper left. Remnants of an old gesso are also visible in the sky in one spot in the upper left and in a few other spots above the cactus in the center left. No retouches are apparent in the landscape, figures or foreground. The work should be hung as is.
