Continental School, 19th/20th Century

Oil on canvas, with a wax lining. The surface is in generally good condition aside from a smattering of surface dirt, with dark spots in the sky at upper center, scattered in the sky, and even along the frame. Under UV light there are small scattered retouches throughout the canvas, especially along a previous stretcher bar mark parallel to the top edge and what appears to be repaired tear in the lower right quadrant. In overall good condition and ready to hang.
