There is a slight waviness to the canvas in the upper left quadrant and an artist's pinhole in the lower right corner. Under UV light: there are a few tiny spots of retouching to the center of the right edge and towards the upper corners and two small spots of retouching in the blue pigment of the the sky in the upper left quadrant. This work is in overall good condition.
