Condition
Stable board.
There is an old very minor nick visible to the extreme edge of the top towards the left hand side. There is an extremely fine, very minor area of craqulure in the sky in the upper right hand quadrant, visible upon closer inspection.
Ultraviolet light reveals areas of fluorescence to the sky; in the left hand top corner, along the area immediately above the roof of the shed, down the right hand side and extending into areas in the upper right hand quadrant, some of which may appear in keeping with a re-working by the artist. Fluorescence is also visible in the white of the window frame and in the water immediately to the right of the shed.
Housed behind glass in a thick, gilt frame. Unexamined out of frame.
