Condition
Painted on paper, laid down on cradled-panel. The panel is sound. UV examination reveals some thin lines and small spots of retouching to parts of the extreme edges and two thin lines towards the upper right corner. The sheet is slightly time-stained. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the sky is slightly bluer in the original.
