Under UV: varnish fluoresces green unevenly. There are scattered finely applied dashes and pinpoint of retouching in the foreground, house, rocks, and trees. Dashes and small areas of retouching are widely scattered in the sky. More broadly applied dashes of retouching are scattered along the edges, with the most concentrated areas in the upper corners and along the upper edge.
