Condition

Work is in very good condition. The canvas is unlined. There are a few isolated spots of craquelure in the thicker pigments on the trees and bridge, but overall rich impasto is very well preserved. Under UV light: a few specks of inpainting around all edges to address past frame abrasion. Otherwise fine.
