Condition
Original canvas on its original stretcher. Apart from the most minor dots of retouching along the upper and extreme right edges, this work appears to be untouched under ultraviolet light. The surface has been cleaned in the past however many of the impastos and textures are still intact, and though there are faint vertical stretcher lines visible in the sky on close inspection, this work is overall in good original condition, clean and ready to hang.
