Condition

The painting sits on its original canvas. The canvas is slightly loose. The varnish has slightly yellowed. A small chip in missing in the lower right in the grass. The matter is thin in some areas where the preparation is distinguishable. Under UV light, several small and light retouches are visible in the grass ; a small nook with a small restoration spot appears on the "n" in the signature ; very light wears appear by the frame (old retouches on the right of the composition). Very good overall condition.
