Condition

The board is stable and appears to have been painting on the reverse. There is a layer of varnish on the surface which may be very slightly dirty. Under UV light there are several small strokes of inpainting throughout the sky as well as two small spots in the foreground, one just to the right of the signature and one at lower right corner. Strokes of uneven varnish also fluoresce. Overall this work is in good condition.
