Condition

Work on original canvas. From a first hand inspection it is clear from the brightness of pigments that the work was recently cleansed. The ultra violet light reveals retouches spread over the sky, mainly in the up right-hand corner (cm 1.5x2.5) and over the rocks in the center (cm 3x4). Those retouches might be wider than necessary. There is residue of old fluorescent varnish over the dark areas of the greenery. The overall condition as to the state of preservation is good.
