Apparently unlined, good tension. One small convex distortion from a blow from the reverse in the sky top left, and associated active flaking and small losses of paint and ground. Several further, larger passages of active lifting and flaking - see images in raking light - mostly to top and bottom edges. Further brittle age craquelure throughout, a little raised but most currently secure. A campaign of retouching in the sky to losses associated with flaking - with larger passages of a grey opaque overpaint in the sky, particuarly above the coachman's head and to the top left corner and along top edge and left edge. Scattered further minor retouched losses, and a couple of larger retouched losses to the face and surrounding area of the lady on the left, and through the forelegs of the grey horse. There has been some abrasion to delicate passages, eg. the bucket, dark browns, and to the trees at the left, and this abrasion has been suppressed in areas with a little retouching. A little old ingrained dirt and varnish. Fairly even, not too glossy upper varnish layer. Some of the cracks have a powdery material emerging - mould? Light surface dirt and scattered minor surface accretions.
