Condition
Oil on unlined canvas. The surface is in overall very good condition aside from minor surface dirt and dust. The impasto used for lights, such as those on the trolley, the car, and in the windows at right is still fresh and thick. Under UV light, some of the pigments are active but there are no apparent inpaints visible.
