Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however, examination under UV light appears to reveal a few small spots of retouching in the lower left quadrant, two smaller dost of retouching towards the centre of the right tree and a few further small horizontal lines of retouching in the brown pigment towards the lower part of the right edge, as well as some minor small dots and intermittent lines of retouching along the extreme edges. There is some paint shrinkage in the black pigment, most predominately to the trees and towards the upper right corner. There is some superficial dust to the surface and some minor frame rubbing along the extreme edges. This work is in overall good condition.
