Condition

Oil on original canvas. The surface is a little dirty and covered with an uneven layer of slightly yellowed varnish. Scattered fine lines of craquelure are visible in some places, e.g. in the sky to right of the mountaintop. UV light reveals some apparent retouches to the standing male figure at right and the back of the horse at left, though the varnish prevents a conclusive analysis. Held in a black-painted wooden frame. Unexamined out of frame.
