Condition

The canvas is not lined. Apart from some scattered specks of retouching in the sky and in the ground, the largest of which is a 4cm. line of intermittent specks of retouching towards the lower right corner, visible under UV light, this work is in very good condition. Colours: Fairly accurate, although the colours are overall brighter and the colours in the roofs are richer.
