Maurice Utrillo

The canvas is unlined. Minor frame abrasion visible along the perimeter, with one associated loss to the medium at the center of the upper edge. The pigments present nicely and are well preserved. A minor surface scratch is visible to the left of the church cupola, with one instance of associated horizontal craquelure measuring a half an inch. Further very minor instances of craquelure in the tan pigments in the left register only visible upon close inspection. Under UV light: no inpainting is apparent. This work is in overall very good condition.
