Condition

A l’oeil nu : Le tableau apparaît dans un état de conversation moyennement satisfaisant. Il a fait l’objet d’un rentoilage dans la première moitié du XXe siècle, qui a écrasé la matière. On remarque 4 petits manques de matière dans le ciel dans le coin supérieur gauche, et dans l’eau dans le coin supérieur droit. A la lampe U. V. : Le tableau apparaît sous un vernis vert uniforme. On remarque quelques petites reprises dans le ciel, dans le coin supérieur gauche et quelques légères reprises dans les fenêtres et voilages des bâtiments à gauche. To the naked eye: The painting appears in moderately satisfactory condition. It has been relined on the first half of the 20th century, that has flattened the pictorial matter. We notice 4 small losses in the sky, on the left upper corner, and on the water, on the right upper corner. Under U.V. light: The painting appears under a green uniform varnish. We notice some small repaints on the sky, on the upper left corner and some light repaints on the windows and net curtains of the left buildings.
