Condition
Original canvas, the canvas undulates towards the centre and top right half of the composition, and there are pin holes in all four corners, with minor signs of frame abrasions apparent.
There are areas of cracking throughout the work, most noticeable to the sky, with areas of slight lifting and abrasion. There appears a small scratch in the hills in the upper left quadrant, wit some corresponding white paint residue. Elsewhere there is noticeable surface dirt, with flecks of very slight loss to some of the tips of impasto. In our opinion the work may benefit from treatment.
Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouchings.
Housed in a thin wooden box frame, with metal banding.
