American Art and Pennsylvania Impressionists

In overall good condition, with a slightly shiny finish due to the varnish. The work would likely benefit from a very light cleaning. With a few scattered abrasions in the upper left quadrant, with a small blow (puncture) in the panel at upper left, along the left outer edge (not associated with any loss). Examination under UV light does not show any inpainting, but reveals a hazy layer of varnish, which confirms the need for a light clean. With some colors (reds, browns) slightly fluorescing under blacklight, but it is due to the pigments used by the artist, not a sign of restoration. Additional images available upon request.

Framed: 36 x 42 x 2 in.
