Condition

The canvas is lined, the paint surface is clean, and the varnish clear and even. There is an L-shaped tear in the canvas centre right, measuring 9 x 4.5 cm. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals some spot retouchings and very fine scattered in the sky mostly to reduce the appearance of craquelure, as well as a spot in the centre of the trees, and a small area in the wooden fence (lower right). The little girl’s hat (lower centre) fluoresces lightly. In overall good condition, and could benefit from restoration to the tear.
