Condition
The following condition report was kindly provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.:
This sweet picture is recently restored, although the lining is older. The paint layer is in good and fresh condition. There are no visible damages. While there are patches of old varnish visible under ultraviolet light, it seems that the only restorations are in the top of the white cloud in the center and in a very thin line of retouches above the trees on the right. The painting is in lovely condition and should be hung as is.
