Lined canvas. Under UV exam, the work is difficult to discern in but there appears to be retouching in the lake at the left end of the island on the right side. There are a few spots of retouching in the lower right corner, and a few minor horizontal lines of retouching along the top edge. Hairline craquelure visible in the sky.
