Condition
The canvas is not lined. Surface is very slightly dirty. There is a small pin dot surface nick in the letter c of the signature as well as another pin dot nick towards the lower left corner. Some minor frame rubbing is visible along the extreme upper edge. Under UV light: there are several strokes of inpainting at the bottom left edge near the lower left corner to address prior frame abrasion, as well as the upper left corner and center of top edge, also to address prior frame abrasion. There are a few small strokes of inpainting in the sky near the top edge, above the central tower. There are scattered pin dot retouches in the foliage below each of the pillars of the bridge to address minor cracking. There is also a pin dot retouch just to the right of the signature on the right edge. Otherwise fine, the work is in good condition.
