Condition
Oil on board, the board is stable. Examination under UV light reveals scattered flecks of retouching in places, in particular to the green pigment of the grass and to the white pigment within the lower right quadrant. There are some further spots of retouching to the extreme edges, primarily to the right part of the upper edge and in places of the sky. There is a fleck of pigment loss to the yellow pigment towards the upper right corner. This work is in overall good condition.
