Condition

Canvas is lined. Surface is clean with a thin web of stable craqueleure, mostly in the upper two-thirds of the canvas. Under UV light there are scattered strokes of inpainting along the extreme edges to address prior frame abrasion. There are also some hairline strokes throughout the upper sky to address the aformentioned cracking as well as a few other scattered spots of inpainting. The varnish layer is thick in places especially in the trees and fluoresces there, otherwise fine. Overall this work is in good condition.
