Condition
The canvas is lined. UV examination reveals a small area and spot of retouching to the red pigment surrounding the central tree. There is a very fine line of craquelure to the second tree on the lower left edge. There is a lovely rich surface. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate though the colours are livelier in the original.
