This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas has been strip-lined, and is well-stretched. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable. One faint dark brown spot accretion is present in the lower right quadrant at the edge of the bridge. Under ultraviolet light inspection, a few isolated areas of inpainting become apparent along the extreme edges of the canvas, primarily in the corners. A few minor scattered pinpoint spots of inpainting also become apparent in the foliage in the left quadrants.
