The painting shows Barth's typical brushstroke and impresses with its finely painted trees and meadows as well as its atmospheric lighting. Condition: The painting is optically in very good condition with still fresh colors and some major areas of retouching in the area of the sky as well as fine craquelure consistent with age. The color surface has been cleaned. The varnish is slightly uneven consistent with age. There is a patch to the upper right on the reverse of the canvas. The frame is slightly worn.
