Condition
From a first inspection there are two cracking next to the lower edge and another in the top right-hand corner, both visible from the picture in the catalogue.
There are some small scratches along the top edge and in the right-hand side of the background next to the girl and over the grass.
The ultra violet light reveals a strong fluorescent varnish dishomogeneously spread over the surface; there are some retouches along the top edge and two small in the middle of the sky.
It is suggested a careful cleansing.
