Condition

The canvas has not been lined. There is a pattern of hairline craquelure in the sky - however, this appears to be stable and is visually not too distracting. Ultra-violet light reveals some small, isolated spots of cosmetic retouching in the sky. Some fluorescence in the mountain top is also visible - however this appears to be associated with the artist's pigments rather than with retouching. Overall, this work is in good condition and is ready to hang. Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
