Condition
Oil on panel. The picture surface is in overall good condition. There is some minor alligatoring, though this appears quite stable. The surface appears to be clean. Under UV light, there are scattered dots and dashes of retouching at the extreme edges. The majority of the varnish has been cleaned, though the lower left corner, where the signature and date are, remains covered in a green fluorescing varnish. Additional scattered dots and dashes of retouching are visible, namely around the house at center as well as the tree. Framed and ready to hang.
