Condition Report:
The canvas has been lined and is providing a flat and stable support to the paint surface. There is a faint vertical stretcher bar mark however this is only visible upon closer inspection. The varnish has yellowed slightly but overall the work presents very well and is ready to hang. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals an uneven layer of varnish and mostly small, scattered retouching to the sky and a larger area of retouching to the sky above the sun. Small spots of retouching to the aforementioned stretcher bar mark as well as some of the edges of the canvas.

Catalogue Note:
This painting is a copy after a work by Claude Lorrain at the Uffizi Gallery, Florence.1
