The canvas is not lined. There is a small repair to the back of the canvas, approximately 2cm long, towards the lower right corner, above the signature. UV examination reveals some minor retouchings along the lower and upper edges and two minor spots in the sky. There are some very fine lines of stable craquelure in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
