Condition Report:
The canvas is not lined and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light, but it would appear that some of the fine hairline cracks have been consolidated. There are several fine lines of craquelure in places, predominantly to the sky. There is some slight wear to the extreme edges of the canvas and the corners, not visible when framed. There are a few scattered fly spots in places. This work is in overall good condition.
