This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There are very minor losses and some wear to the edges and corners of the work due to abrasions with the frame, but this does not affect the overall image. The paint layers are healthy overall. There is very fine, hairline craquelure to areas of thicker impasto, consistent with the age of the work. There is a brown accretion on the lake, above the figure in green, but this is probably inherent to the work. No restoration is found under ultraviolet light inspection. Framed.
