Condition

The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals a few small minor dots of retouching in the grey pigment to the upper part of the hill, above the boat. There are a few thin lines of stable craquelure in places notably to the river. There is an horizontal superficial scratch (approx. 17 cm long) along the left part of the upper edge. There is some frame rubbing along the extreme edges with associated minor paint loss. The work is in overall very good condition.
