Condition report
The canvas has been relined. The paint surface is thin in some areas, probably due to overcleaning. Ultraviolet light reveals retouching to trees, upper right, and to above mountains; further retouching to middle distant and foreground, particularly to darker pigments in the trees; traces of a repaired horizontal tear, lower right which has been well executed.
