Condition Report:
The canvas is unlined, though it has been restretched over its original strainer. The frame appears to be applied to the front of the canvas. General aged varnish and craquelure throughout. Examined under UV light: minor inpainting to the craquelure along the bottom edge. Two inpainted repairs in the sky region; the first above the homes on the proper right side and the second on the proper left edge.
