Condition
The panel is sound. Examination under UV light reveals small dots of retouching at all four corners and an additional dot of retouching to the signature to the right of 'Marc'. There is some minor abrasion with associated tiny paint losses to the extreme edges of the panel. There is a minor vertical scratch (approx. 1 cm) to the extreme left building in the lower left quadrant. There is a dot of beige pigment to the building towards the centre of the lower edge. This work is in overall good condition.
