Woodcutters in a landscape with town and river beyond,
Oil on canvas,

The paint surface shows several star cracks of varying sizes in the sky, and a vertical crack down the right hand side. There is a further horizontal crack along the top left edge which extends into widely spaced craquelure in the trees. The top right quadrant shows a couple of small scuffs. Examination under UV shows no evidence of repair, restoration or re-touching. The back of the canvas also shows no evidence of repair. The frame is structurally sound, but appears to be the inner mount of a larger frame, and shows age-related wear to the gilt finish.
