Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals scattered pinprick retouchings in the clouds, and a more concentrated band of retouching along the upper margin, less than 2 cm. wide at its greatest width. There is also a thin band of retouching down the right margin in the upper corner, approx. 0.5 cm. wide. In very good overall condition.
