The canvas is original. The canvas undulates very slightly in the upper half, in particular in the upper right quadrant. There is a slight stretcher bar mark along the top edge. There are a few fine lines of craquelure to the landscape and sky, centre left. There is some slight surface dirt throughout and some staining to the canvas. This excepting the work appears to be in excellent overall condition. Inspection under ultra violet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching.
