STRUCTURE
The picture has been relined which is providing a stable structure. There are areas of fine craquelure in the sky but this is only visible upon close inspection. The paint surface may benefit from cleaning as the varnish has discoloured and there are areas of surface dirt and blooming.
UNDER ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT
There is a small area of retouching in the lower left corner and flecked retouchings along the edge of the hillside.
FRAME
The picture is contained in a moulded plaster frame.
