The bevelled panel is in a stable condition. There is a strip of canvas applied to the reverse, corresponding to a horizontal split, approx. 21⁄2 in. in length, centre left (as visible in the illustration). There are a number of minor losses to the edges of the panel associated to historic frame abrasion but the paint surface is stable. Several old discoloured retouchings in the sky are visible to the naked eye. Examination under ultraviolet light confirms the aforementioned retouching in the sky and reveals scattered strengthening to the darker tones in the landscape.
