Condition

Lined. Overall the work presents well aside from minor surface dirt and dust and faint dots of accretion scattered across the ground. Under UV: heavy varnish fluoresces green and largely impedes a review of the surface; however, there appear to be fine retouches to the ground near the lower edge and in the trees at upper right; and a diagonal line of inpainting extending from the left lower edge to the lower left corner.
