Condition

3.25.25- In my opinion regarding LOT: 2206- I am not an expert on such works, please let me know should you have further questions, I have included the conservation report from 1982 for your review, we do not have the mentioned photographs at this time, a careful UV light examination reveals an overall unremarkable surface with only a minute, small possible drip or paint flake (I am unsure, see high-resolution images) noted in the upper center of the large cloud in the upper right sky, as indicated in the provided image with a pen point, I further note some minor, sparse very fine craquelure in the texture of the clouds, per the report the work was laid on a wax-resin liner at the time of conservation (1982), there is no apparent inpainting, see images, the canvas shows no rips or tears, and no major loss to the work is observed

The frame shows typical fine hairlines at the corners, scattered small losses, minor rubs, and light wear, it is structurally intact and stable
