The canvas has not been lined. The surface is a little dirty and a couple of faint and minor lines of cracking are visible in the sky. The colors are rich and vibrant. Under UV light: several strokes of inpainting are visible to the bottom right and bottom left corners and along the top left edge. There are a few other spots of inpainting .5 inches in diameter scattered throughout the painting, though a layer of varnish is difficult to read through. Overall the work is in good condition.
