The canvas is not lined. The pigment layer is stable and under a clear varnish that has slightly yellowed with age. There is minor frame abrasion to the extreme edges and scattered pinpoints of pigment losses. There is an overall unobtrusive network of fine lines of craquelure. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a few scattered minor touch-ups, primarily to the areas of grass. The work can be hung in its present state and is offered with a simple giltwood frame. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the condition of frames.
