Condition
Cardboard is sound. Examination under UV light reveals no evidence of retouching. There are pinholes at the upper right corner and other pinholes in the trees (approx. 9 cm from upper edge and 16 cm from right edge). There are a few scattered flyspots. Impasto is nice and well preserved. There is frame rubbing along the extreme edges associated with some paint losses in places, most predominately at all four corners and possibly related to previous mounting. This work is in overall good condition.
