Condition

The work is in good condition overall. There is minor wear and handling around the corners but does not take way from the overall quality of the image. Upon close observation, there is indication of chipped impastos predominately on the top left corner, bottom border and along the right margin. The board is smooth and without cracks or warping. Examination under ultraviolet light shows signs of retouching scattered on the sky and on the bottom left quadrant. However, this is not visible with the naked eye. Framed.
