Literature

Condition
The canvas is lined. There is a thick varnish layer preventing the UV light from fully penetrating but there appears to be some retouching along the extreme edges, most probably to cover frame rubbing. Apart from three vertical hairline scratches to the varnish over the sky in the upper left quadrant, a few small fly spots and some minor surface dirt, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate.
