Condition
This painting is in original unlined condition. There is broad craquellure throughout and paint appears to be lifting slightly in areas of the sky, where paint layer is more heavily applied. Under UV, restorations in the upper left and top right fluoresce, as do small strokes around the perimeter to address frame abrasion.
