Canvas is lined. SURFACE: in good condition, generally; craquelure throughout (looks stable); retention of details, particularly in the lower half of picture, is excellent UNDER ULTRA VIOLET: scattered repaints along edges and in sky (most of it near the clouds--all consisting of dots/dashes); no major repairs are evident--perhaps a small repaired tear or two along the right edge
