Condition
Canvas is lined. Colors are fresh and vibrant. Some frame abrasion is present at extreme bottom edge at left. Under UV light certain pigments fluoresce and a thick layer of varnish is difficult to read through, however inpainting appears to be contained to the sky at upper left quadrant where several slight brush strokes of inpaining are present in addition to three more concentrated spots - an area two inches in diameter to the center of the sky, an area one inch in diameter to the upper right of the sky and an area one inch in diameter to upper left corner. This work is in good condition.
