The actual painting is a lot greener and less yellow in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests. The small copper plate is in good condition. No damages are apparent. The paint layer is secure, if a little thin in the sky. There's a small retouched paint loss in the sky upper right and some minor retouching in the sky. The paint surface is under a dirty and yellowed varnish. Inspection under UV is inconclusive due to the dirty varnish. Offered in a plain black painted wood frame with a decorative gilt fillet in good condition.
