Oil on board. The work presents well. Two extremely faint, minor surface scratches (diagonal and horizontal) at lower right just above the edge. Under UV: there are dots and dashes of inpainting scattered in the sky and some brushier areas of inpainting scattered along the edges in the upper quadrant and in the lower left corner to address prior frame abrasion. Ready to hang in its current state.
