Anonymous sale, London, Sotheby's, 12 December 2002, lot 110.
Condition
The paint surface has a recent relining which is firm and stable however the paint surface remains rich. The surface overall is good with some minor losses in the upper edge. Inspection under UV reveals minor scattered retouches, an old small repaired puncture in the architecture towards the upper edge and areas of repaint to the lower and right edges. The losses to the upper edge could perhaps be filled but the painting otherwise requires no further work and is ready to hang. Offered unframed.
