Condition

The following condition report was kindly provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.: This painting has been recently cleaned. It is unlined and still stretched on its original stretcher. The paint layer is in very healthy condition. It is possible that there are a few retouches around the extreme profiles of the buildings against the sky in the upper right. Otherwise, despite the uneven fluorescence under ultraviolet light, it seems that there are no other retouches to the paint layer.
