Condition
This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There are a few pinhole sized spots of losses at the outline of the tree trunk along the right edge and some very light paint shrinkage at darker pigments, but these are only visible upon very close inspection and under bright light. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals very small spots of restoration scattered sporadically on the painting, areas of restoration at the background (upper right quadrant) and one minor area of restoration at the bottom left corner. Framed.
