Condition
Unexamined out of frame. The canvas appears to be original and unlined. There is a fine five centimeter horizontal scratch within the sky above the mountain. There is some slight surface dirt, minor accretions and instances of studio matter. Subject to the above the work appears to be in overall very good condition.
Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals some evidence of localized retouching along the upper edge above the mountain. This has been very sensitively executed.
The work is held behind glass in a simple wooden frame.
