Condition Report*:
Relined canvas. Paint film in very good stable condition. Painting was expertly cleaned within the last 20 years or so. The work is pristine with no evidence whatsoever of restoration in the entire landscape. Under UV examination, the deepest blue of the sky fluoresces slightly, suggesting perhaps a thin glaze of strengthening had been applied to that region at some point.
