Condition
The canvas has been relined. There is some scattered frame rubbing along the extreme edges and some faint lines of craquelure. The varnish fluoresces quite opaquely under ultraviolet light, obscuring a clear reading of the surface; the only clear retouching visible under U.V. light is a stroke in a figure to the left of the composition, and in the centre of the extreme edge. The overall appearance of the painting is good.
Held in a decorative gilt coved & fluted frame.
The catalogue illustration is a good representation of the work overall, although some of the colours are richer in reality, especially in the sky.
