The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The painting is executed on canvas, it has been subject to relining and is held under tension on a keyed stretcher.
The painting presents well in natural light, with the depth of colour and the fluidity of execution fully appreciable. In natural light we can see some flattening and thinning to the upper paint layers, a result of the relining process, which is quite strict. This is most noticeable in the sky, where some of the red preparation layer can be perceived through the blue paint.
Examination under UV light confirms the painting to be in good condition overall. There is some retouching in the central rock formation. Under a fine varnish.
