Painting has been very thinly relined. Some thinnesses can be seen in the greens of the landscape, but painting appears to have been rather thinly painted to begin with. ultraviolet light shows retouching scattered throughout the sky. there is a possible old repaired diagonal tear (about 4 in. long) in sky to right of center. other scattered retouches, though less numerous, can be seen in landscape and a few in water. In a simple gilt wood frame with minor nicks.
