Condition

The board is sound. There is a small loss to the board at extreme lower left corner and a 1 inch crack near the same corner. There is a rich and textured impasto on the surface of the work and the colors are bright and fresh. Three-inch vertical surface scratch at extreme left edge near center of that edge. Under UV light some original pigments fluoresce and there is one pindot of retouching in the green pigment one inch above the extreme right edge of the pond, otherwise fine.This work is in very good condition.
