Condition
Canvas is not lined and undulates slightly at the upper register. A few thin cracks are visible in the darkest pigments at the lower left and lower right, as well as at the center left and center of the bottom of the canvas. Surface is slightly dirty. Under UV light: a few small strokes of inpainting are present at the extreme top, bottom, and right edges of the canvas to address prior frame abrasion. In addition, a few small spots of retouching are visible in the sky near the top of the composition. Overall the work is in very good condition.
