Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and loosely stretched. The media layer is stable, and the colors are vibrant. A pinpoint spot of pigment loss is present in the upper right corner of the canvas. Under ultraviolet light examination, a two-inch horizontal fine line of fluorescence becomes apparent along the extreme upper right edge, in the sky above the tree.
