This report was prepared by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.:
This work is in excellent condition. The paper on which it is painted has been lined onto linen. The surface is stable. The paint layer is clean and varnished. There are a few tiny spots of retouching in the sky, but none in the landscape. The work is beautifully preserved and should be hung in its current state.
