Condition

Oil on original canvas. The surface is a little dirty and covered with a layer of slightly yellowed varnish. There is very nice impasto. There are a few flakes of paint loss in some areas, including the lower left and upper right edges, as well as a .5cm loss to the grass at lower left and a .5cm loss to the sky at upper center. Under UV no repairs are visible, though the varnish prevents a conclusive analysis. Held in a modern wood frame with cloth slip. Unexamined out of frame.
