Condition
This work is in perfect condition. It has never been restored and although the stretcher may not be original it is nonetheless well-stretched. The surface is slightly uneven. There is a faint diagonal line of cracks in the upper right sky. These cracks are not unstable. The paint layer is dirty and there are no paint losses or damages, except for a spot or two in the lower left. The painting will respond to restoration very well.
