Condition
The actual painting is a little warmer in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests. The canvas has an old, effective relining (glue). A stretcher mark is visible along the left edge. One vertical surface scratch, which has been retouched of approx. 10 cm., can be seen in the upper right corner, as well as a very small dent in the upper left corner, above the clouds. Otherwise, no major damages seem to be apparent. The paint surface is slightly abraded in the background and sky and is under a fine layer of dirt and discoloured varnish. Inspection under Ultra Violet light reveals an unevenly applied and cleaned varnish layer, tiny retouchings in the sky, a few along the left edge and a few in the lower right corner.
Offered in a gilt wood frame with leaf decorations, a few chips. (ML)
