Condition

The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals a few spots of retouching to the stream, particularly to the lower part of the water, and some further spots of retouching to the sky. There are a few flecks of pigment loss in places, primarily to the centre of the stream, and there is some craquelure visible, in particular to the paler pigments of the sky. This work is in overall good condition.
