Condition
Canvas is not lined. The surface is slightly dirty. Canvas undulates slightly at the center of the left edge. Under UV light: scattered spots, strokes, and some larger areas or inpainting fluoresce, particularly in the right half of the sky. A few strokes are present along the extreme lower left edge, and a few scattered spots are visible at the bottom edge. Overall the work is in fairly good condition.
