Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is a very small area of fluorescence, possibly retouching, to the extreme lower right corner visible under UV light. Apart from some light craquelure, mainly to the sky, this work is in good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate, although the yellows are lighter and the greens richer in the original.
