Condition Report:
The canvas has been lined and appears to be providing good support. Scratches and fine craquelure are present across the image but the paint surface appears stable overall. Some small flecks of paint loss to the extreme edges. Inspection under UV reveals various areas of overpaint. These are most concentrated in the sky but some further areas of scattered retouching include those to the hay cart, horse and foreground. The surface presents a layer of light dirt as well as some circular brown stains. Please note that this frame is unstable.
