The canvas is not lined. There are thin specks of retouching throughout the lower right quadrant in the buildings and at intervals elsewhere to the lower left quadrant. There is a line of retouching running down the left edge, in the sky, and thin brushstrokes of retouching to the top right quadrant. All retouching is visible under UV light. Otherwise, this work is in fairly good condition. Colours: More subtle, less red and the sea is more turquoise in the original.
