Condition
The canvas is not lined and UV examination reveals a few small spots of retouching in places, the most prominent of which is a 2cm. long area to the centre of the right edge which relates to a repaired tear. There is some light frame rubbing to the extreme edges. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the sky is slightly more pink in the original.
