This relined canvas is held under tension and remains structurally stable. The paint surface is covered by an aged yellowing and dirty varnish, through which are visible restorations in the sky and landscape, as well as historic paint shrinkage in the sky. There is a small isolated paint loss in the lower centre and further restorations along the edges, associated with frame wear. Ultraviolet examination confirms the above, as well as more extensive restoration to isolated patches in the lower left and the grazing horse in the foreground.
