The board has warped. There are three small areas of paint loss, in the area of the small hut, the lower right corner and the branches to the middle left section of the composition. The varnish has slightly discoloured. UV light reveals small areas of old retouching to the lower edge, however an opaque layer of varnish prevents further investigation.
