Condition
The canvas is unlined. The paint surface is secure and clean, with the exception of the clouds which have dirtied. A diagonal retouching approximately 10 cm long is visible to the left of the shoulder. Very few small scattered retouchings can be seen in the right cheek. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals an even varnish and confirms the aforementioned retouchings. Overall the work is in good condition.
The work is offered in a gilt molded frame with a few knocks.
