Condition
The following condition report has been provided by Simon Parkes of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc. 502 East 74th St. New York, NY 212-734-3920, simonparkes@msn.com , an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's.
This painting has been recently restored and should be hung in its current state. The canvas has not been lined and the paint layer is stable. There appears to be a loss or abrasion in the sky against the hill on the center left and there may be some restoration here even though they do not show under ultraviolet light. Elsewhere the picture seems to be in very healthy condition with a few restorations visible under ultraviolet light in the upper center sky. The picture should be hung as is.
