Condition

The panel is flat, even, and ensuring a stable support. Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals scattered spots of cosmetic retouching, including in the clouds, in the top of the hill to the right, in the lower part of the left framing edge and some other scattered strokes in the water. The signature appears to be slightly rubbed. However, this work presents very well and is in good overall condition. Presented in a decorative gilt frame with a nameplate.
