Condition

Canvas is not lined. Edges are reinforced with tape. Scattered frame abrasion around the extreme perimeter of the canvas and a dot of paint loss on lower left edge. Canvas is slightly bowed in the lower left and lower right corners.Under UV light a stroke of inpainting is visible at center of top edge, another strokes near center of left edge and a few hairline dots at lower right edge, all likely to address prior frame abrasion. In addition there are a few pindots of inpainting below the stroke at upper center and one nail head sized dot below the two smokestacks at left, otherwise fine. This work is in good condition.
