oil on canvas

Canvas is in plane and has good tension. There are two very small losses of media in the top right hand corner revealing the primed canvas beneath, as the primed canvas is similar in colour to the sky, the losses are very discreet. There are some very fine drying cracks in the sky, mostly localised to the corners and with no resulting loss of media, there are also some minor scattered accretions, mostly notable to the pale passages of paint in the sky. Would perhaps benefit from a very light clean, but overall in nice condition.
