In fully restored condition. Fairly stiffly relined, cleaned and revarnished. Some surface dirt and discoloured varnish now in evidence. There are approx. 6-8 small and varying shaped areas of retouching and infilling within the sky to upper right corner. Further less visible under UV sporadic, small sized retouches to sky of upper left corner. Possibly some general strengthening to the lower areas of sky left hand side. Fairly sporadic retouches and strengthening to darker tones and shadows of foliage in lower left hand corner, parts of the canopy of trees, below the castle and further retouches to presumably old flaked paint across the body of the cow. The herdswoman and other animals would appear to be mostly without intervention and there is a similar degree of infilling/retouches to shadows and definition within the foliage of the lower right hand corner to that scene in the lower left. Any retouches to the foliage of the large upright trees is more sporadic. Some general retouching to edges (mostly lower edge, lower outline of the rocks to centre of foreground and odd retouch elsewere) etc... Some slight flattening to the surface as a result of the restoration process. The canvas is slightly adrift of the frame and slip to lower edge. For more information please contact the department.
