The retouch is minor scattered dashes, with several broader areas (one to an abrasion),near the left edge. The back of the work is protected by a thin panel between the canvas and the stretcher, but the canvas does not seem to be adhered to this panel. There is a 1/4 inch abrasion to the sky u.r. The painting would benefit from cleaning.
