The lining is relatively new and is adhered with glue or resin. There is retouch to the sky, and to a tear or repair near the upper right corner, as well as to a puncture just under 2 inches in diameter at the base of the falls lower right. The varnish, though recently cleaned, is thick and inconsistent, and the area around the signature was left untouched.
