There is a horizontal split to the panel spanning the width of the painting, just above the horizon on the left hand side, running through the mountains to the right. this is most apparent to the left hand side and there have been some wooden supports added to the verso to stabilise it. there is a shorter additional split below this, to the left hand side which spans approx. half the width.
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT
There is very minimal retouching along each crack, with small isolated tiny specks elsewhere, mainly to the sky and towards the extremed edges of the panel.
FRAME
Glazed, and held within a plain moulding painted frame.
