Condition
The canvas has not been lined. The impasto has been well preserved. There are some faint lines of cracking visible in the sky at top center and top right, and a slightly yellow varnish is visible around the clouds in the upper sky. Under UV light: no inpainting is apparent, though a layer of varnish is difficult to read through. The work is in excellent condition.
