Condition Report:
The painting has a discoloured and dirty varnish overall. There are 3 small areas of minor paint loss in the lower left in the foliage below the tree, and 2 visible repairs in the sky centre right. The canvas has an old relining and there is some frame abrasion to the canvas edges. Examination under ultraviolet light confirms the opacity of the varnish and reveals fairly extensive though largely minor retouching throughout, but predominantly to the darks in the lower left. In overall fair condition.
