The canvas is strip-lined. There are scattered spots of retouching running along the left, right and upper edges, which intensify at the upper two corners. There are also scattered spots of retouching to the upper branches of the trees and areas of the sky near the top edge. Apart from some light, stable craquelure to the sky near the upper right corner, this work is good condition. Colours: The colours are fairly accurate, although the reds are slightly more subtle in the original.
