Condition
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light appears to reveal no signs of retouching. The canvas is very slightly undulating to the upper left quadrant and there is some very minor craquelure in places. There are some pigment losses along all four edges as a result of previous frame abrasion (not visible when framed) and there is a spot of pigment loss to the centre branch of the right-hand tree. This work is in overall good condition.
