Lined, all keys present, a little lacking in tension. Original tacking margins removed, and a little pressed by lining. The canvas is set back from the hessian slip slightly. Brittle age craquelure throughout, stable and not elevated with the exception of a small 1inch area of active lifting in the canopy of the tree at the right edge. A few areas of tight wrinkling from the drying process. A few areas of old damage and loss covered by overpaint, e.g. a three inch patch to the right of the right most cow, to the trees at the left edge and the sky just above this, and bands to the sky at the top of the left edge, and to the sky at the mid right edge. There is also a large swathe of greyish overpaint in the middle of the sky, unclear what damage/loss this might be hiding. A few further touches of overpaint in sky, and scattered further minor losses. Possibly a second campaign of restoration (see UV images). Minor abrasion in a few small areas of delicate brown paint. Ingrained old yellowed patchy varnish and dirt particularly evident in the sky. Slightly uneven surface gloss, light surface dirt and tiny splashes of white.
