Condition

Canvas is not lined. Surface bears a rich and textured impasto; the surface is clean. A few pin-dot nicks to the surface are visible, mostly at the extreme upper corners. Pin-dot losses are visible to the left and right of the small tree at far left, and two pindot losses are visible at the base of the larger foreground tree. Under UV light: these and a few other small scattered losses fluoresce, but no inpainting is apparent. Overall the work is in very good condition.
