Condition
The canvas is lined. There is a milky varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, however UV examination reveals concentrated retouchings along the left and right edges and some further scattered retouching along the upper and lower edges pertaining to frame rubbing. There are some pin-sized fly spots in places to the sky. This work is in overall fairly good condition and would benefit from a clean.
