Condition
Winter I: in overall good condition. Judging from the accumulated grime and yellowed varnish in the snow, we would recommend a light cleaning.

Soft diagonal scratch on the canvas surface at upper left quadrant, across the top of the trees' branches, and just before the red sun. Examination under UV light does not reveal any sign of inpainting or repair. Additional images available upon request.Blue Bench: In overall good condition.
