The unlined canvas in overall good condition. Judging from the yellow varnish throughout, we believe the work would likely benefit from a light cleaning. With very light crazing visible in the sky at upper right, as well as across the snowy path and the two walking figures at center/center left. A nicely preserved impasto throughout. We also notice small flakes along the bottom outer edge, mostly concentrated at bottom left just underneath the location. Examination under UV light does not reveal any sign of inpainting. Additional images available upon request.
