Inspection under UV-light reveals extensive retouchings in the sky; retouchings and strengthening becomes apparent in the figures in the centre, the barges along the quay and the two yachts to the right, as well as minor spots of retouching in the figures in the two rowing boats in the foreground and foliage to the left.
