Condition Report:
The canvas has an old glue relining. The surface of the painting is quite nicely retained, with beautiful detail and tonality throughout. Under UV: minimal touches are visible, apart from a few dots in the lower right, a small touch in the water lower center, some small feathered touching in the sky above the bare tree, and one or two touches at the upper edge. Otherwise, a large impressive picture in wonderful condition. Offered in a modern gilt slip frame.
