Condition

The panel has been cradled. It appears to be flat, even, and ensuring a stable support. Ultra-violet light reveals some intermittent strokes of retouching in the extreme framing edges and some minor scattered spots in the sky and in the hay-stack. Some very finely applied lines of in-painting are also visible in the clouds in the upper left quadrant. This work is otherwise in good condition and ready to hang. Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
