Condition Report

Structural Condition The canvas is unlined and is securely attached to a keyed wooden stretcher. There is a stamp on the right side of the reverse of the canvas. Paint Surface The paint surface has an even varnish layer. Inspection under ultra-violet light shows some very small spots of retouching within the sky, including a small spot in the upper left and upper right corners of the composition. Summary The painting would therefore appear to be in very good and stable condition.
"This lot is offered for sale subject to Sotheby's Conditions of Business, which are available on request and printed in Sotheby's sale catalogues.
