Condition
The canvas is unlined. The pigments are bright and fresh and the impasto has been well preserved. Extremely faint stretcher marks run vertically through the center of the composition. A few fine lines of craquelure are faintly visible scattered in the sky and one running vertically through the mountain at center. There is one extremely minor flake of pigment lost to the top center edge but the surface is otherwise stable. Under UV light: no inpainting is apparent though certain original pigments fluoresce and a masking layer of varnish is difficult to read through.
