Condition
The painting is executed on loosely woven burlap (jute). There is cracquelure throughout the work which is especially visible in the sky. There are 2 small paint losses (aprox.03 cm.) on the right upper center area near mountains and a (0.5cm.) paint loss near the middle right edge. Under black light, the milky white paint on the edges of the canvas appears to be of a later date. The painting is in good condition and ready to hang.
