Condition

Examined in the frame. Lined. The work presents well and appears bright and fresh. There is one dot of surface accretion in the trees at upper center. Under UV: there are scattered small areas of inpainting along the lower edges, some possibly to address frame abrasion, and small scattered areas of fluorescence associated with dark brown green pigments.
