This work is in good condition. The stretcher has been replaced and the canvas has been re-stretched. The impasto is rich and well preserved. Under UV light: spotted areas of retouching to the edges of the canvas and one larger area of retouching in the snow in the lower right register in the foreground of the composition. Otherwise, fine.
