Canvas is not lined. A few lines of horizontal cracking are visible slightly above and to the left of the tree at the center of the composition, as well as in the white pigment in the upper right and center areas of sky. There are a few extremely minor flakes of paint loss, but the paint layer appears perfectly stable overall. Colors are bold and strong. There is an instance of extremely minor frame abrasion at the upper center edge of the canvas. Under UV light: no inpainting is apparent.
