Condition

STRUCTURE This picture is unlined and in good condition with no visible condition problems. The detail is fine throughout but the picture may benefit from a light clean. There are no signs of craquelure and the paint surface appears stable throughout. UNDER ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT The varnish appears opaque under ultraviolet light. There are minor areas of retouching in the sky and further small areas in the hillside. These retouchings appear to be old and have been well applied; they are not visible to the naked eye. FRAME Contained in a moulded plaster frame.
