Work retains original canvas. Some minor paint shrinkage in the emerald green pigments around the house center right edge and surrounding the palm tree. Under UV examination, there are three small clusters of retouch each an inch or smaller upper center in the sky. Additional fluorescence corresponding with areas of impasto with some possible retouch - see photos. Numerous stamps on the verso of painting and frame indicating, this was in the Edna Kleitsch Estate sale. Presented in a gilt frame, likely original.
