The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals dots of fluorescence to the green and yellow pigment which does not appear to be related to any retouching. There are areas of stable craquelure in places, notably in the sky and in the lower left quadrant. There is some minor frame rubbing along the extreme edges. There are a few scattered fly spots and there is a small dot of superficial dirt towards the centre of the upper edge. This work is in overall very good condition.
