Comments on Condition
- Under UV, there is extremly minor retouching visible, located in small areas in the snow. - Under UV, there are areas of fluorescence that possibly correspond to the artist's use of a different pigment and/or gesso. These areas of fluorescence are consistent with the brushstrokes' direction.
