Scattered areas where what appears to be an underlying layer of white paint shows through. Scattered tight age splits to the surface of the wood board with resultant cracks to the painted surface, particularly evident on the blue sky and clouds. Two instances of flaking to the paint in the upper right corner of the board. Examination under UV light reveals no evidence of restoration or repair. Frame: 21 x 26 5/8 inches.
