Oil on canvas, 25 x 30 in. (63.5 x 76.2 cm), framed.

Fine craquelure to the sky. Under strong UV light there is some very minor overall fluorescence in the sky, suggesting that the sky may have been revarnished over the craquelure when the painting was lined. No evidence of any damage to the painting. No additional condition issues to report.
