Condition

The canvas has not been lined. There is scattered craquelure throughout, notably in the left hand side of the picture. The painting surface could benefit from some cleaning. Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals a thick layer of residual varnish which makes the surface quite difficult to read. However, with the exception of some in-painting in the aforementioned craquelure, and possibly some traces of strengthening to the mountain tops, there is no other visible sign of restoration. Presented in a gilt frame.
