Condition
Examined out of the frame. Oil on panel. The panel is within a wooden frame from which it cannot be removed without a restorer's aid. There are vertical cracks visible to the picture surface approximately 1 1/2 inches from the edges at left and right, either a result of an addition or a panel crack (the right one fluoresces under UV light) Under UV: aside from aforementioned inpainting associated with the panel crack, there are a very few retouches in the sky at upper left and varnish fluoresces green unevenly.
