Condition Report

The canvas has an old relining. There is a small old c-shape repair in the sky along the centre left edge and a pattern of craquelure throughout the composition, notably in the sky and in the lower right corner, with some associated small spots of flaking. Some spots of paint rubbing are also visible along the framing edges, the surface is quite dirty and would no doubt be transformed through cleaning and restoration. Ultra-violet light reveals areas which fluoresce more opaquely along the framing edges, suggesting the work has been reframed in the past, and spots of retouching in the aforementioned repair and above the acropolis. The work is presented in a narrow gilt frame.
