Condition
Good, stable condition. Some overall cracking to the paint layer. A tag to the reverse details the 1996 professional conservation work of Lucas Conservation Laboratory in Vancouver, Washington, including a re-lined canvas, cleaning and application of resin surface, and a little bit of in-painting (in the sky and clouds area).
