Condition

The painting is on its original canvas. Cracks are visible on the surface of the painting and are visible in the catalogue - especially by the roof and on the lower right. Under UV light, thin cracks appear to have been filles, especially in the lower part in the grass, in the trees in the middle and on the left. A few repaints are observable in the sky, on the left and on the right. The matter is thin in some areas. Two patches are applied on the back of the canvas. The picture in the catalogue is slightly too purple : the painting is more yellow in reality.
