Oil on canvas. Wax lined. Varnished. The canvas undulates slightly. A few minute paint losses towards the upper left quadrant, at the centre of the right edge and in the yellow pigments towards the lower part of the biggest rock. One or two minute craquelures along the upper part of the left edge. Examined under ultra-violet light: surface is difficult to read due to an heavy varnish. No apparent retouching. Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that this work appears to be in generally good condition.
Huile sur toile. L’œuvre est rentoilée à la cire. L’œuvre est vernie. La toile ondule légèrement. De rares et minuscules manques de peinture vers le quart supérieur droit, au centre du bord droit et dans les pigments jaunes vers la partie inférieure de la plus grosse pierre. Une ou deux minuscules craquelures le long de la partie supérieure du bord gauche. Examiné à la lampe à ultra-violets: la surface est difficile à lire due à l’opacité du vernis. Aucune retouche apparente. Sous réserve de ce qui précède et selon notre opinion, cette œuvre apparaît en bonne condition générale.
