Condition
The painting is in good condition, as is the board, which is clear from cracks or warping. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals a few small scattered spots of retouching: the area near the edges - on the middle left, lower right, upper right, as well as on the trees, the fence and the roof area. These are apparent only after UV inspection. There is some fine craquelure in general, which is consistent with the aging process, but the paint layers are well-preserved and in stable condition.
The actual painting is less green and more pink-toned in reality.
