There are a few retouches around the edges, and particularly around the bones and rocks in the lower right and at the base of the pole in the railroad tracks. These retouches do not clearly indicate any condition issue. There is a small group of cracks in the upper center that is slightly raised that may need attention. This is a work that could certainly be hung as is, but it would respond to cleaning and more accurate retouching.
