The canvas is not lined. There are scattered specks of retouching throughout the sky, a small 1cm. sq. spot of retouching to the extreme upper left edge and a 1cm. sq. spot of retouching to the lower centre of the river, all visible under UV light. Apart from a pinhead-sized paint loss to the centre of the right edge, this work is in good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate although the colours are deeper and warmer in the original.
