Condition
Executed on buff colored wove paper mounted on canvas. The sheet is faintly visible in some areas and may be somewhat time darkened. The edges have been reinforced with tape. Under UV light a thick layer of varnish is very difficult to read through however in raking light a two inch repaired tear is visible in the bottom of the sky just to the right of the street lamp and a one inch repaired tear is visible just to the left of the male figure's feet. These correspond to visible areas of repair on the reverse. Work is in good condition.
