Condition

This work is in very good condition. The canvas is still on its original stretcher. The paint layer is stable and clean. Although much of the very dark pigment in the trees has developed some drying cracks, these are not distracting except for possibly a few in the trees around the church which could possibly benefit from some minor retouching. Under ultraviolet light: a small amount of pigment fluoresces strongly in the foreground between the church and large tree on the right side. There may be a few retouches here, but some of the original pigment also shows strongly under ultraviolet light.
