Condition
The canvas has not been relined and is slightly undulated in the far upper left corner. There are a couple of very small nail holes visible along the framing edges, however not too distracting. Ultra-violet light reveals no signs of retouching. The work is in very good condition and ready to hang.
Presented in a wooden gilt frame.
The colours are less green than in the catalogue illustration.
