Condition
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals small spots and lines of retouching to the sky, the largest of which is a line of retouching in the upper right quadrant (approximately 3cm. long). The canvas is gently undulating. There are fine lines of craquelure to the house fronts. There are a few small paint losses to the white façade. This work is in overall good condition and might benefit from a light clean.
