  • Condition: The following condition report has been provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.:
    This work is in very good condition. It is painted on a thick wood panel. The panel is very slightly curved from top to bottom. The painting seems to be clean. It has been varnished.
    A few small retouches have been added in the lower right sky to address some cracking. There are four retouches in the center of the sky, and a few cracks on the left of the sky have also been retouched. There are two very thin diagonal scratches in the center of the painting beneath the waterfall and in the lake, which have been retouched. In the center of the left side, a group of cracks has been retouched.
    The painting shows no signs of having been abraded or discolored. The restoration is well applied and the work should be hung in its current state.
