Condition
Canvas is unlined. Work is in good condition. Surface is slightly dirty and would benefit from cleaning. Very rich impasto is well preserved throughout. Pigment is cracking in several areas, mostly towards the edges of the canvas, most noticeably in clouds at upper left corner, base of tree in lower right, and facade of house in background. Under UV light: no apparent inpainting, however some original pigments fluoresce.
