Condition
Work on original canvas.
From a first hand inspection the surface looks a little abraded along the edges on the left and right hand edges where the loom is.
The ultra violet light reveals a strong fluorescent varnish dishomogeneously spread over the surface. Over the sky on the left there is a vertical restoration (cm 3 circa). Another one (cm 10 circa long) starts from the horizon line towards the lower edge. There are some other small retouches in the lower part of the grass to cover some scratches.
It is suggested a careful cleansing.
The overall condition as to the state of preservation is good.
