Condition

The canvas is lined. Examination under UV light reveals a few scattered spots of retouching to the sky, the largest area in the upper left quadrant. Two smaller spots of retouching to the centre of the sky relate to small repaired holes. There are two artist's pin holes to the upper two corners and the lower right corner and there some scattered, fine lines of craquelure in places. This work is in overall good condition.
