Light frame rubbing to all four edges. Hairline craquelure within the sky. Two pinpoint losses to the sky appear just above the left cloud and another above the right cloud. Some small spots of surface dirt throughout the sky. Examination under Ultra-Violet light reveals: no apparent signs of retouching or inpainting. Subject to the foregoing, it is in our opinion that the work appears to be in excellent condition.
