Condition

This painting would benefit from a cleaning but is in very condition overall. There is a small dent in the extreme upper left corner, though not noticeable when framed. Under UV, there has been a small touch up at the top edge of the board, in the centre of the cloud. The green tree in the foreground, left of centre, also fluoresces as a result of previous reenforcement.
