The panel is stable, beveled on all four edges of the reverse, and uncradled with a very faint horizontal bow. The image reads well overall beneath an old, discolored and slightly dirty varnish, and many of the details are still well-preserved. Inspection under UV reveals a thick and milky varnish. Scattered, well-applied retouching is visible in the sky, the largest area of which is concentrated near the center of the sky, and the finest of which attends to some of the thin wood grain. Some areas of retouching are visible in the foliage and background in the lower right corner, as well as along the left half of the lower edge. Additional scattered retouches are visible here and there, such as in the foliage of the tree and near the edges. Painting could hang as is, but may benefit from a clean and freshened varnish. Offered in a simply carved ebonized wood frame.
