Condition

Work rilined. The ultra violet light reveals the presence of an old yellowish fluorescent varnish thicker over the lower section of the painting. There are two small losses in the lower right-hand corner: one over and one (circa cm 1 x 1) below number 4; a retouch (cm 1.5 x 1) is visible along the left-hand side edge near the grass. One loss of pigments over the white cloud in the middle of the sky and retouches over the other clouds to make the yellowish varnish milder. The overall condition as to the state of preservation is good.
