The canvas appears to be unlined. The painting is clean and presentable as is. The overall condition is very good and stable, with lovely retention of detail throughout. Under UV light, the varnish fluoresces unevenly. There appear to be some retouches to the clouds, mostly at the right side. There is a small fill in the sky at center right and a couple of retouches in the foreground at left and center. There may be some retouching at the lower right foreground, but it is difficult to tell and may just be fluorescing of the varnish. This painting can be hung as is with no need for further work. Offered in a carved and gilt wood frame with a stylized leaf pattern.
