Condition

The medium is oil on canvas. The canvas is not lined, and it is slightly slack on the stretcher. There is some gentle undulation throughout the canvas as well. There is some minor surface dirt, and a gentle stretcher mark along the top edge. There is some minor cracquelure in the sky, and a small loss 1 inch from the left edge, in the roof line of the Hôtel Crillon. Under UV: there is no apparent inpainting. The colors are vivid and the media appears fresh: the work presents very well overall.
