Condition

The canvas is unlined and well stretched. Under UV light there are three small spots of inpainting to the upper left, lower left and on the center rock. There is slight craquelure throughout especially in the impasto areas and especially in the upper left quadrant. The surface is quite dirty and would benefit from a cleaning. There are three spots of staining in the lower center. The impasto is nice and high and the surface is in stable condition.
