This report was prepared by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.:
This work is in excellent condition. The canvas is still stretched on its original stretcher. The monogram and inscription are clearly visible. Slight cracking has developed in the sky and upper center and in the lower right quadrant particularly but this is not disturbing. The heavy impasto is undamaged and the colors remain brilliant.
When viewed under ultraviolet light, Hassam’s original paint layer reads very strongly. There is a small group of retouches in the sky, slightly to the left of the peak of the mountain. There is also one retouch to the right of the peak. Throughout the work we see strongly florescent paint which corresponds to original pigment. This includes some very darkly florescent color across the top edge in the sky. In the upper left corner there are two tiny retouches which are not visible under ultraviolet light or to the naked eye. The work can be hung as is.
