There are vertical streaks in the varnish running through the composition, but these have not disturbed the paint layer.
Description:
Markings:
Under ultraviolet light, one can see small retouches to some cracking and probably some thinness in the darker colors of the trees in the center. There are some colors that show strongly under ultraviolet light that seem to correspond to original paint, for instance in the leaves of the trees. There are other retouches that are less visible under ultraviolet light along the bottom edge, in the upper sky, and in the tree on the right, perhaps to address some unevenness to the glazes. Close examination with the naked eye does not reveal any significant weakness.
