Condition

Oil on paper laid down on canvas. UV examination reveals extensive retouching predominantly to the sky area and a few minor spots of retouching in the foreground. There is a diagonal crease, running towards the centre of the left edge and due to the laying down process, and there are some fine lines of paint shrinkage towards the upper right corner. Otherwise this work is in fairly good condition.
