Relatively sporadic fine retouches throughout sky. Slightly more concentrated to upper right and upper left corners with further more concentrated narrow band (no more than 0.5cm across) at the central part of the right-hand side, yellow covered hill. Retouches to outer edges, lower left-hand corner, within the central area, the darker tones and shadows and the dell itself, in the area around the bird, and scattered sparely elsewhere to the vegetation. Some extension to the sheet. Otherwise in a stable and presentable state of preservation.
