Condition

Oil on canvas. Not lined. Not examined out of frame. The work is in good overall condition. There is some minor bumping and pulling to the canvas in the upper corners. Under UV there are several areas of fluorescence: in the lower right corner at both the right and lower edges, in the second horse from the right, in the fifth tree from the right, at the tops of the trees in the upper center, and in the lower left quadrant, and in the center of the canvas. The colors are bright and the work presents very well.
