Condition
This work is overall in good condition. The canvas is lined. There is a thin layer of varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating. There appear to be some small areas of retouching to the upper half of the middle tree trunk and some minor areas to the upper edge. There are some tiny scattered specks of paint loss, mainly to the lower centre of the composition, with associated retouching. All retouching appears to be visible under UV light.
