Original canvas. There is some scattered fine craquelure and a few small losses as well as some horizontal crease marks in the sky, and a 3cm vertical tear in the mountain. There are a few retouches visible under UV light, notably in the façade of the palazzo. The painting would benefit enormously from cleaning and restoration. Held in a decorative gold-painted wood and plaster frame with a black-painted outer accent.
