Condition

The canvas is not lined. SURFACE: In good condition, the surface is quite dirty and would respond well to a light cleaning. With two small losses - one in the branches of the smaller tree, the second just below the smallest rock at bottom right (appear orange). A few more minor abrasions to the surface. UNDER UV: No apparent inpainting.
