  Condition report:

  Frame: 31 1/2 x 26 1/2 x 1 in.

  In overall good condition. The sheet is affixed to the undermat via three pieces of white linen hinging tape at top (upper left, upper center and upper right), on both sides (see shadow of the reverse tape uptop along the top outer edge). With remnants of linen tape verso along the left outer edge, at bottom. The paper is wrinkly at times - due to the medium. See for example along the right and left outer edges of the works (building's left edge and in the sky). We notice a fold in the paper at upper left, on the outer edge (on the building's shadowed facade). The colors are fresh and overall present well (no real toning of the white). With several, minor, tears alongside the outer edges of the work. For example: at upper right, on the right outer edge of the paper (in the sky, partly covered by the mat), at bottom right, along the right outer edge of the paper (in the grass, three very minor areas covered by the mat), at bottom left, along the left outer edge of the paper (in the grass, repaired 'Y-shaped' tear, about 0 1/4 in. wide and long); bottom center left along the left outer edge (in the grass, faint repaired 'Y-shaped' tear again). With light scratching on the apples: this is part of the artist's working method (to capture the light), and not a condition issue. The verso is slightly stained and wrinkled, with slight discoloration around the edges but presents overall well. See specialist's pictures for more details.
