Cleaned and restored. UV reveals in-painting covering the area of shaded rocks to the left of the bird (appx. 5 x 2 in.). The sky to the right of this also fluoresces, suggesting restoration or possible pentimenti (the ridge of the rock formation underneath the bird may have continued into the shaded rocks to the left). The sky surrounding the bird appears to be discolored but does not fluoresce. A few other minor touch-ups throughout.
