Under UV light: scattered strokes of inpainting in the sky, mostly in the right half and around the upper right corner. A few pin dot retouches in the left half of the sky. There is one small stroke of inpainting in the white wall just above the double L in the signature. Otherwise fine, this work is in good condition.
