Condition

The canvas has not been lined. Signs of frame rubbing, with associated spots of paint loss, are visible along the upper framing edge and the upper part of the left framing edge. Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals extensive areas of fluorescence, notably in the sky, which appear to be attributable to the artist's pigments rather than to retouching. This work is in good condition and is ready to hang. Presented in a decorative gilt frame with a nameplate.
