  Condition report:

  Frame: 32 1/2 x 37 1/2 x 2 in.

  The relined canvas in overall very good condition, with very fresh colors. Examination under UV light reveals scattered areas of (very minor restoration). See for example at upper center right (on the hill), upper right corner (repair in the sky, just above the hill), at center and center left (the main house's right side and the house further to the left). Inpainted minuscule flakes at upper center left (in the tree). The painting appears to have been cleaned as only residual varnish can be seen at center left, on the trees.
