Framed: 42 1/2 x 52 1/2 inches.
Moderate deposits of surface dirt and dust, with fibers adhered to varnish layer in scattered areas; canvas is not lined and slightly distorted, particularly along the upper edge and in the upper corners; varnish is unevenly applied and varies in discoloration from moderate to significant; one spot of inpainting visible under normal viewing condition in the center; two areas of drying craquelures in the center right, within the darker bushes; a few white paint flecks adhered to the upper left corner. Under UV light: small areas of inpainting scattered through the upper left of the sky; inpainting scattered through a horizontal area in the center, primarily concentrated in the lower part of the dark trees; drying craquelures within the aforementioned areas fluoresce but this may be a result of the ground showing through.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition.

Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
