Condition

The painting is in good condition; the illustration in the catalogue is less yellow with respect to the actual painting. It has been relined and mounted on a modern canvas. No restoration is visible to the naked eye, the varnish is very oxidised and hides the colours’ original luminosity. Inspection under UV light confirms the thick, oxidised varnish previously mentioned which impedes a thorough restoration inspection. However there are light, visible retouching in the sky, while the area depicting the architectures and the canal are in good condition. The frame is gilded with a 18th century style. An old label on the canvas says Kalverstraat 73, Amsterdam.
