Condition
Executed on card laid down on canvas. The pigments remain bright and fresh for the most part. Some small dots of discolored retouches scattered in the sky, the largest towards upper right corner, fluoresce darkly under UV light. In addition there are two spots of discoloration under the inscription at lower left which also fluoresce under UV, otherwise fine. This work is in generally good condition.
