Condition
Oil on canvas. The canvas is somewhat slack on the stretcher. There are fine stable lines of craquelure visible across the picture plane. There are a few small, stable losses - one beige in color, the other blue in color - that are visible near the base of the tree. Under UV light, there are small scattered areas of fluorescence, potentially old repaints or potentially the glaze, mainly in the greens and darks at lower right and in the tree.
