Condition Report:
The work has been examined framed. Canvas is not lined. There is paint shrinkage most predominantly located in the trees and craquelure mainly in the sky. There is a thick yellow varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating. However, examination under UV light appears to reveal dots and small areas that fluoresce corresponding to unvarnished areas. The work is in overall good condition.
