The painting is on panel, which is slightly convexly warped. The panel is supported by fifteen small, wooden supports through the center of the panel on the verso. There is a visible crack to the panel, which corresponds to the supports noted above. Under UV, the painting has been selectively cleaned. An older varnish remains over part of the trees and foreground. There is repaint evident along the center crack that runs halfway through the composition, originating from the left side. There are numerous additional touches of inpainting scattered throughout the landscape and sky.

Framed dimensions: 21 x 23 x 3in.
