Condition
The canvas has been lined. The colors are strong and fresh. There are extremely fine lines of paint shrinkage to certain pigments in the sky, notably to the left of the center of the top edge. Under UV light: certain pigments fluoresce although no inpainting is apparent. The work is in very good condition.
