The canvas is lined. Under UV light, there is a small area of old retouching to the upper left corner and two vertical lines of retouching, the larger of which is approx. 6 cm long, in the blue pigment above the roof of the house on the right. There are a few thinner lines of retouching running diagonally and some scattered dots in the sky. There is a small paint loss to the upper right corner and a small tear (approx. 1 cm long) to the extreme left of the roof of the farm. This work is in fairly good condition.
