The canvas has been laid down on hardboard and the edges are cut accordingly. Inspection under UV light reveals scattered areas of retouching; mostly in the sky, the trees and the houses. The paint surface has slightly lifted from the canvas at the upper left. There are a few light abrasions and craquelured areas and the paint surface is very slightly dirty. The wooden frame is in good condition considering its age. The framed work measures 44 x 53.5 cm and the size of the canvas is 29.5 x 39 cm.
