Condition
The canvas is lined. Examination under UV light reveals a few tiny dots and small lines of retouching in the sky towards the extreme left tree, possibly related to a repaired tear. There are a few dots of dark pigment, possibly dirt, at the right part of the upper edge. There are a few scattered tiny fly spots to the sky. There is some light frame rubbing along the extreme edges. The impasto is nice and well preserved. This work is in overall good condition.
