Condition
This work is framed in a gold timber contemporary frame. There is an area of paint loss and cracking through the grey burnt tree upper centre. There are areas of drying cracks through some of the more heavily impastoed areas, ie. the clouds and some of the white tree trunks. There are drying cracks across the surface of the bird, showing under painting. This does not distract from the overall look of look of the picture.
