Condition Report

Scattered very fine lines and dots of retouch overall, which appear to have been used to fill craquelure, the largest cluster of these located above the haystack, measuring roughly 3 x 1 in. at the maximum; a second larger cluster located in the treetops at left in an area measuring roughly 3 x 1/2 in. A few spots of retouch along edges to cover frame abrasion. Craquelure appears stable. No other condition issues to report.
