The canvas has been re-lined and maintains adequate tension. Examination in natural light shows slight abrasions to the edges of the canvas associated with frame wear. While there is minor abrasion to the paint surface, the modelling of the landscape and figures remains appreciable. Minor scattered retouching is visible in the darker tones and the sky. Examination under UV light confirms the aforementioned scattered retouching, with more extensive retouching to the lower lateral edge. There is an historic restored vertical tear of approximately 10 cm. to the edge of the canvas in the lower right hand corner.
