Condition

Original canvas. There is a small area of craquelure, so faint it is only visible under very close inspection, above the skyline in the upper left quadrant. Otherwise the work appears in good overall condition. Ultraviolet light reveals an opaque varnish which makes the surface difficult to read conclusively. Certain areas fluoresce but these appear to be the hand of the artist. Held in a gilt composite frame with a canvas inset. Please telephone the department on 0207 293 6424 if you have any questions about the present work.
