Condition Report

The painting is executed in oil on a wooden panel support. The panel has a Roberson supplier label on the reverse. The panel is in plane and the paint layers are in a good, stable condition. There is some abrasion along the lower edge caused by poor framing. There are localised areas of overpaint in the sky which have slightly discoloured. The varnish has yellowed with age and is slightly dull. There is a light dirt layer across the canvas with a few dark spots and accretions.
