Condition Report:
The following condition report has been provided by Simon Parkes of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc. 502 East 74th St. New York, NY 212-734-3920, simonparkes@msn.com, an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's.

This work is generally in very good condition. The canvas is unlined. The tacking edges have been reinforced with linen, and the stretcher is new. An inscription is clearly visible on the reverse of the original canvas. A piece of Plexiglas has been attached to the stretcher, and rests against but is not adhered to the back of the canvas. This protects the reverse, while allowing clear visibility of the inscription.
All of the retouches are clearly visible under ultraviolet light. They can be seen around the extreme edges, in a few cracks in the upper right sky and in a concentration of cracks in the darkest color beneath and to the right of the city on the right side. There is a vertical line of retouches running through the light colored rocks on the far left. A handful of tiny dots of retouching has been applied around the knees of both legs, and there are a few dots in the flag in the upper right. In the golden halo, there is a group of retouches to the right of the legs and a few other tiny spots around the lower legs and feet.
The retouches are very well applied, and the work should be hung as is.
