Condition

The canvas is original. There is a 1cm tear in the sky in the upper right corner, with some related paint loss, as visible in the catalogue illustration. Although the tear is not too distracting, this would benefit from some restoration. Ultra-violet light reveals no sign of visible retouching. The work is otherwise in overall good condition. Presented in a floating gilt frame.
