Condition

The work is in good condition overall. Upon close observation, there is evidence of wear and handling along the edges of the work. Faint horizontal scratches are visible along the bottom margin. There is evidence of scattered paint losses and discolouration predominantly on the gold paints due to the age the work. Examination under ultraviolet light shows signs of minor restoration sprinkled in the area between the largest tree trunks, on the first figure from the left and in the area surrounding the figure. However, this is not visible with the naked eye. Framed.
