Condition
Oil on canvas. The surface is covered with a layer of slightly yellowed varnish. There is minor paint loss around the edges. Along the center of the left edge, there is a very small tear to the canvas. Under UV, pigment fluoresces in the buildings and in the chair below, but varnish prevents a conclusive analysis. Held in a black painted wood frame. Unexamined out of frame.
