Condition
The canvas has been strip-lined along the four tacking edges. Under ultraviolet light only a handful of small retouchings are visible, however the thick even varnish fluoresces opaquely and it is probable that there are further retouchings in the sky which do not fluoresce clearly under ultraviolet light. The overall appearance of this painting is good and it is ready to hang.
Presented in a decorative gilt rococo-style frame.
