Condition

The painting sits on its original canvas. Small white dirt spots are scattered on the surface : the painting would benefit from a light cleaning. Bears the 2016 stamp lower left. The technique is very mat. A few brush strokes fluoresce on the right in the grass and on the tree trunk, maybe executed by the artist (the painting is not varnished). Very good condition overall.
