Mild overall craquelure. Grime across the surface. The canvas has not been relined. Fabric supports were added to two corners of the canvas to help secure the canvas to the stretcher. Completed restorations include a repaired 2" tear to the canvas at the rightmost tree with over-painting, a 2 1/4" scratch near the top right corner with in-painting, and two spot of over-painting in the bottom left quarter. There is a touch-up in the top left area of sky (1 3/4" round) that now appears slightly pale.
