Condition
The canvas has not been lined. Apart from some very small spots of retouching in the sky towards the centre of the composition and a relatively small area, if compared to the dimension of the canvas, just above the city which is related to an old repair (9 by 10cm. patch on the reverse), the picture is otherwise in very good condition and is ready to hang.
Presented in a dark wooden frame with a gilt inner slip.
