Condition

The work was first on paper than applied to cardboard. From a first hand inspection there is a small loss over the building on the left hand side, other small ones over the wall in the centre and towards the centre of the right hand side edge (all visible from the picture in the catalogue. There are some detachments. The ultra violet light reveals darker retouches over the four edges, over the houses and snow, probably due to the artists hand.
