PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CONDITION REPORT WAS PREPARED BY HAMISH DEWAR, AN INDEPENDENT PAINTINGS CONSERVATOR UNCONDITIONAL AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE Structural condition The artist's board is structurally sound and secure with an even profile. The overall structural condition would appear to be very good. There is a very slight crease line within the board. Paint surface The paint surface has an even varnish layer. Inspection under ultraviolet light shows a thin line of retouching covering the crease line mentioned above and just a few other very small spots in the sky. Summary The painting would therefore appear to be in good and stable condition and no further work is required.
