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 gradation of colour and the detailing of the foreground remain well preserved. This relined canvas remains stable. The paint is structurally stable. The present varnish is a little cloudy. In a raking light, a fine pattern of craquelure is evident, with some associated retouchings, notably to the darker passages on the right. There is a miniscule paint loss in the dark foliage at upper right. Examination under UV light confirms the aforementioned retouching to the darker passages to the right. There is some additional retouching along the lower edge of the canvas.
