Apparent craquelure and pigment separation in the lower half of the picture with the varnish sunk into the cracks and some lifting, a small loss at right. Under UV light: Repaint throughout the ground and pond, a few scattered spots in and above the dog, areas of old repaint scattered in the sky, especially at the edges. A repaired tear in the sky center left also visible with the naked eye.
