The painting is on a single wood panel which has not been cradled. It is slightly bowed at the top and bottom but remains stable. The paint layer has suffered and abrasions, particularly in the midsection of the panel, have thinned parts of the sky and some of the darks in the foreground. Most of the figures remain in good condition, though there are scattered losses throughout, particularly in the shadowed areas. The varnish has thinned so overall the surface has a dry quality. Under ultraviolet light there seems to be some retouching to strengthen the paint layer in the darker areas of the water and some along the shore beneath the cityscape on the right side. Offered in a carved giltwood frame.
