Condition
The medium is pastel and gouache heightened with oil on paper. The work is in good overall condition. There are pinholes in all four corners. There is old paper tape along all four edges, verso. There is a small brown stain in the cupola of Sacré-Coeur and another just above the tree line, in the sky at the center. The colors are strong, the oil impasto is fresh and the work presents very well.
