Condition Report

The canvas has not been lined. There is a visible stretcher mark along the upper edge, and minor hairline craquelure on the painted surface, notably two vertical lines circa 6 cm. from the right and left framing edge possibly associated to the corresponding stretcher bars. There are signs of paint flaking along the upper left framing edge and minor rubbing along the four edges, covered by the frame. There is a small vertical stroke of what appears to be possibly glue or water above the dark brown rock toward the right side of the composition. Ultra-violet light reveals minor scattered spots of retouching, notably in the sky. The work is in otherwise good condition and ready to hang. Presented in a gilt frame.
