Condition

The painting is in good original condition. When examined under UV light, there is evidence of some cosmetic scattered retouching to the sky in the upper left quadrant as well as some to the foliage below the dome of Sacre-Coeur. There is no further evidence of retouching. The painting presents very well and the board is in good condition.
