The canvas is lined. There is some vertical hairline craquelure throughout the sky. There is some minor abrasion to the left and right edges, likely due to a prior framing. The varnish is slightly yellowed. Some scattered pindot losses in the pigment in the upper left quadrant. Another pindot loss in the center of the left edge. A couple additional pindot losses in the center of the composition. Under UV inspection, no inpainting is apparent. The work is in good condition.
