Condition
The canvas has been lined and is securely attached to a keyed wooden stretcher. There is a fine pattern of hairline craquelure throughout which is not distracting to the naked eye and is only visible upon close inspection. Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals some small, scattered spots and lines of retouching in the sky, including a circa 2 by 5cm area in the centre of the composition possibly addressing some restoration. Overall, this work presents very well and is in good condition. This work is ready to hang. Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
