Condition
The painting is in overall good condition. The canvas has been relined and appears to be clear and taut.
Examination under ultraviolet light reveals spots of retouching in the sky; on the upper right and left corner. There are also several spots of retouching in tree and in shadowing behind figures. All retouching is only visible under ultraviolet light.
The paint layers are intact.
The actual painting is sharper in reality. The colours are richer and play of shadows is livelier.
