Overall this painting is in excellent condition. Under UV minor inpainting is evident scattered through the left side of the sky and concentrated over a visible yellow stain on the surface. Overpainting is also evident under UV interspersed throughout the upper tree line on the right side. The top portion of the canvas exhibits minor craquelure as well as some discoloration and grime in the sky. The gilt frame shows signs of wear and tear but is stable and in excellent condition.
