Condition

Canvas is strip lined. Under UV light a few touches of inpainting are visible at the extreme corners, particularly the lower left corner, to address prior frame abrasion. There are two repairs visible on the back of the canvas, each of which corresponds to a thin line of inpainting. The first is in the trees at center, about ten inches below the top edge. The second is in the upper right quadrant, four inches in from the right edge and eight inches below the top edge. This work is in good condition.
