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.

This two-piece oak panel remains stable. The paint has been applied in thinner glazes, with some of the browns in the darker passages having naturally thinned over time, revealing the ground underneath. The artist's painterly technique remains highly appreciable, with the underdrawing visible. Ultraviolet examination reveals restoration along the horizontal centre panel join, as well as along the edges associated with frame wear. There is more historic restoration to the sky and the water, particularly in the darker passages of the clouds in the upper left. There is further strengthening to the darker passages of the landscape. The painting presents very well overall, with the earthy tonality of the landscape highly appreciable.
