Condition

Canvas is unlined. Minor surface abrasion at lower corners. A dot of paint loss in the roof of the building near the left edge. Under ultraviolet light some thin lines of fluorescence likely to address prior frame abrasion. In addition, a dark brown pigment fluoresces in places in the roof of the buildings but appears to be fine. Overall this work is in very good condition.
