There is some light surface dirt and the paint is slightly thin in minor isolated areas. Otherwise is good condition and ready to hang. Ultraviolet reveals several spots of scattered retouching in the sky, to the lower left quadrant and some very minor spots elsewhere. Held in a heavily decorated gold painted frame in fair condition. Under non-reflective glass and unexamined out of frame.
