PAINT SURFACE
The painting appears to be in very good condition with no apparent damage or loss of paint. The original impasto remains intact in the foliage and clouds and there is an uneven craquelure overall in keeping with the painting's age.

There is also also evidence of very minor retouching to an old repaired vertical tear in the upper right measuring approx. 10 in and a thick uneven varnish overall.

Held in a gilt wood frame.
