Condition
Highland in Winter
The panel is sound.
There are a few isolated specks of staining and the surface is slightly dirty. There are a few tiny surface abrasions to the mountains. Otherwise the work is in good overall condition.
UV reveals an opaque varnish which makes the reading difficult to interpret but no apparent signs of retouching.
Held in a gilt plaster frame with a canvas inset.
