Condition
This work would benefit from a light cleaning. There is some abrasion with associated paint loss at upper left corner and extreme edges and there are a few pindots of possible paint loss in the water at left. There are horizontal cracks to the paint surface in the mountains and sky that are consistent with the grain of the wood panel. There is a ¾ inch surface accretion where the snow meets the water at lower left. Under UV: there is no apparent inpainting.
