Condition
The canvas has not been lined and is slightly loose on its stretcher. There are some areas of craquelure on close inspection. There is a discoloured layer of surface varnish and specks of surface dirt throughout. The work appears to be in good original condition. UV light inspection reveals an area of retouching in the lower right corner and further areas of old infilling and retouching throughout the mountains. However, more accurate reading is obscured by a heavy layer of opaque varnish. Held in a decorative gilt composition frame.
