Condition
The canvas is unlined. The colors appear bright and fresh. Impasto is well preserved. Some areas of stable cracking exist, including in the blue of the sky at upper-right and water at lower left and right. Frame abrasion has occurred to extreme outer edges of composition and paint loss has occurred along extreme right edge. Under UV light: a few strokes and small spots with inpainting are visible to each of the edges likely to address prior frame abrasion. A few nail-head-sized spots of inpainting are visible within the sky at upper-left as well as a two-inch vertical stroke of possible inpainting to left edge of tree at center. The work is in good condition.
