Condition
The canvas is unlined. There are some thin lines of craquelure in places. There is some mount staining along the extreme edges. Under UV light, there is a small dot of retouching to the trees in the upper right quadrant and some tiny dots of retouching and thin lines consistent with two vertical surface scratches to the sky towards the center of the top edge. Apart from a few thin lines and small dots of retouching along the extreme edges due to frame rubbing, this work is in good condition.
