Condition
The actual painting is cooler in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests. The single panel is bevelled along all sides except for the right egde. The paint surface is slightly worn, especially in the centre of the composition, but overall in good condition. A small discoloured retouching is visible in the centre right sky as shown in the catalogue illustration. The paint surface is under a discoloured varnish.
Inspection under UV-light is mainly impeded by the varnish, however, some retouchings are visible in the sky as well as strenghtening of the signature. Offered in a gilt wood frame, in good condition. (JD)
