Inscribed "L.N. 36" on the stretcher.

The condition report states there is possible retouch. This was noted because under UV examination there are scattered darker areas throughout the sky. However, this does not appear to be retouch, but seems more likely to be areas of the board showing through where there is active brushwork and the paint is applied more thinly.

Framed dimensions are 29 3/8 x 37 1/4 in.
