Condition
The panel is uncradled, flat and stable. The paint surface is relatively clean, the colours are bright and well-preserved, and the varnish is even and only slightly discoloured. There is a superficial horizontal surface scratch across the legs of the wooden bridge, centre right (visible in the catalogue illustration). Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals retouching to this scratch but little other intervention, save for minimal scattered retouching in the foreground. In overall very good condition.
