Condition
The following condition report has been provided by Simon Parkes of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc. 502 East 74th St. New York, NY 212-734-3920, simonparkes@msn.com, an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's.
This work has been restored and looks well. The tacking edges of the canvas have been reinforced to allow for proper stretching, but the work itself is not lined. Despite the fact that the original paint reads quite strongly under ultraviolet light, the only retouches are a post in the upper right corner, a couple of dots in the upper sky and in the dark awnings in the center of the left side. The work should be hung as is.
