Condition
The canvas has been strip-lined along the upper edge, but is otherwise original. There are scattered flecks of retouching visible under ultraviolet light, partially obscured by a varnish, notably to the sky. Apart from scattered flecks of paint loss, notably through light frame rubbing along the edges of the canvas, this work is in good condition, with rich tones and fine detail.
