STRUCTURE
This picture is relined and in good overall condition. There are no signs of craquelure and the paint surface appears to be stable. There are discoloured restorations visible in the sky and a small crack in the paint surface in the sky to the right of the central building probably caused by pressure from behind - the paint surface appears to be stable and it should be possible to reduce the crack with ironing by a professional restorer.
ULTRA VIOLET LIGHT
Under ultra violet light there are infillings in the sky and the water.
FRAME
This picture is contained in a plaster moulded frame.
