Condition

The canvas appears to be original, unlined and sound but conclusive examination is prevented by a backing board. There are some minor areas of fine craquelure to the trees; this is stable and only visible on close inspection. Ultraviolet reveals no sign of retouching. Framed and glazed; unexamined out of frame.
