This condition report was prepared by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.:
This work has been restored. Inness is a technically complex artist, and some previous attempt may have been made here to “enrich” his palette. No retouches are visible in the landscape under ultraviolet light, except for a spot at the base of the hay wain in the center. There may be older restorations in some of the darker colors of the trees and in the meadow in front of the trees on the right. Under ultraviolet light, one can see that the blue part of the sky reads slightly darker than the remainder of the lower sky, particularly in the center and on the left. The blue in this area was probably very lightly glazed by a non-original hand in an attempt to “tidy up” the picture. Although these older restorations could be considered interpretive, the painting looks well and the condition actually seems to be good throughout.
