Canvas is not lined and edges are reinforced with tape. Surface is clean with areas of rich impasto. Under UV light strokes of inpainting along the extreme upper edge as well as a few areas in the sky near upper left corner and along the upper right edge fluoresce. There is also a small area of inpainting just to the left of the yellow facade directly above the train. Some areas of exposed primed canvas in the foreground especially around the lower corner fluoresce but appear to be original, otherwise fine. This work is in good condition.
