Condition
Oil on canvas, not lined. The surface is in generally very good condition. Colors are bright and fresh. Under UV light, there are two pinpoint dots of retouching at the upper center of the canvas, 1/2 inch from the top edge. The greens in the shoreline and the trees and some of the reds in the figure's face, kerchief and the flowers remain active and fluoresce under UV light. This work presents very well and is ready to hang.
