Condition Report:
The following condition report was kindly provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.: Not examined out of the frame. This work is restored and should be hung in its current condition. The canvas seems to be lightly lined with a non-wax adhesive. The lining is attractive, and the surface is stable. The paint layer is clean, retouched and varnished. There are hardly any retouches in the trees and hillside. There are a few small isolated retouches in the unpainted area across the bottom edge, with a slight concentration in the lower left and lower right. In the sky, the center and right side are in very good condition, with only a few tiny dots in the upper and lower right and in the lower sky between the two groups of trees. There are a few isolated restorations on the left side, along with a vertical restoration measuring 1 inch by a quarter of an inch, which may address small paint loss or possibly a small break in the canvas.
