Condition

The canvas has not been lined. There are some light surface spots of dirt, notably visible in the sky, and a pattern of hairline craquelure throughout the composition. Some incredibly small pinhead sized holes are visible under close inspection to the second spire to the left and in the clouds towards the left. Ultra-violet light reveals some small spots of cosmetic retouching in the upper left corner and along the right edge, and some other minor scattered spots. Otherwise, the picture is in good condition and ready to hang. Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
