Condition
The panel is uncradled, flat and stable. The paint surface is slightly dirty and the varnish is slightly discoloured. There is retouching to reduce the appearance of craquelure largely in the rear of the hose, in the trunk of the tree to the left, and in the branches of the tree on the right, which has discoloured somewhat. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals this retouching, as well as some spot retouching in the branches of the trees, centre. There is little other notable intervention. In overall fair condition.
