Condition

The canvas is unlined and well stretched. There are stretcher markings in the upper side of the painting. There is craquelure throughout the painting, more pronounced in some areas such as the upper center and across the lower edge. Under UV light inspection the painting appears to have been varnished and has a couple of retouches in the lower half: one in one of the trees in the lower left quadrant and a couple of scattered retouches in the lower right quadrant.
