Condition
Executed on card laid down on sound board. The card is lifting slightly from the board along the left edge. Losses have occured to the extreme outer edges of the composition, for example the top and bottom left corners and the upper right edge. The surface of the painting appears a little dirty. Impasto has been fairly well preserved. Some thin lines of stable cracking are visible within the upper left and upper right areas of the sky. Under UV light a few small strokes of inpainting are visible within the green pigment toward lower left edge. Overall this work is in good condition.
