Condition

The panel is cradled and appears to be formed of two horizontal planks, and is flat and stable. The paint surface is clean, with a clear and even varnish. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a combination of small, spot retouchings and looser wash retouchings throughout the sky, as well as a horizontal line of retouching extending from the centre of the left margin approx. 8 cm. long, but there appears to be little restoration in the rest of the composition - save for a handful of spot retouchings in the roof of the building (centre), in the tree next to this, and a couple in the dilapidated shelter. The painting is in overall good condition, and appears fresh and ready to hang, without a need for further intervention.

Although we do not know who taught him, Decker was clearly strongly influenced by his Haarlem townsman Jacob van Ruisdael. In this painting, arguably his finest known work, he has fully absorbed Ruisdael's early style of the late 1640s.
