Condition
This painting is in very good condition. The canvas has never been removed from its original stretcher. The paint layer is probably slightly dirty. It seems to be more or less undamaged. The canvas is unlined. There are slightly noticeable stretcher marks on the surface and the cracking in the snowcapped mountain is raised and slightly unstable, but the work is otherwise in fresh and lovely condition.
