Condition

Two tears appear on the canvas : the first one in the upper middle part of the composition, in the sky, and the second one in the grass on the lower left, with a minor material loss. The composition would benefit from a light cleaning : the varnish has yellowed a little bit. The oil is on its original canvas, and is unframed. Under the UV lamp, minor repaints appear in the upper left part and on the lower left, in the grass, scattered on the surface. The composition is in generally good condition.
