Condition
Apart from some surface cracks in the lower left corner the board is flat and even. There are three small losses in the clocktower notably one below and to the right of the clock face, and one in the sky near the centre of the right edge. Ultraviolet light reveals scattered spots of retouching notably in the sky, most of which are faintly visible to the naked eye, and some intermittent lines along the upper framing edge.
Presented in a simple gilt frame.
