The painting has been recently cleaned, restored and relined. The paint surface is secure under a glossy varnish. Inspection under UV light is impeded by this varnish although some retouching work to the sky upper right does fluoresce. Offered in a stained wooded northern style frame in fair condition with some minor losses.
