There are a few line of slight craquelure towards the centre of the composition. This excepting the work appears in very good overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals signs of fluorescence and possible retouchings to the top right quadrant in the sky, and also to the green and yellow cornfields. These have all been very sensitively executed.
