Condition
The canvas has not been lined and is slightly lose on its stretcher. The surface is a bit dirty though the pigments remain bright and fresh. Under UV light: certain red pigments fluoresce and a small quarter-inch spot of inpainting is visible near the extreme center left edge just above the left-most building. Otherwise fine, the work is in very good condition.
