Condition
This work is in very good condition. It is painted on board, and there is some minor diagonal cracking visible in the left and center sky. Under UV: there are areas of inpainting at the upper left and right corners, and scattered dots and dashes at the top edge likely to address frame abrasion. There are very small scattered dots and dashes in the left and center sky and upper left tree to address the cracking as previously mentioned.
