Condition

The canvas has been relined. There are areas of what appears to be retouching in the sky visible under UV light, and a few scattered spots, notably in the hill in the distance. There are some areas of discolouration in the varnish and the work would benefit from a light surface clean. Held in an elaborate gold-painted carved wood and plaster frame.
