Condition
Canvas is lined and its edges are reinforced with tape. Under UV light: scattered spots and areas near the edges of the canvas fluoresce, probably to address prior frame abrasion. The largest spots are at the center of the top edge, upper left, and center of the bottom edge of the canvas. Several spots of retouching fluoresce throughout the sky, mostly at the center of the canvas. Some retouches are visible to the naked eye, and the prior restoration job could use some improvement. Overall the work is in fair condition.
