Condition

The canvas has a fairly recent firm relining. The paint surface is in a reasonable condition although the paint is somewhat abraded, particularly in the sky and there is cracquelure throughout. There are some scattered localised retouchings which fluoresce under UV light. Offered in a carved wooden frame which has suffered a little with time.
