Inspection under UV reveals some strokes of retouching primarily concentrated in the upper sky. Some additional find strokes are visible in the architecture toward the center of the right edge, and a few strokes in the shadows of the lower right corner. Only a few other very small spots visible here and there. The painting is ready to hang. Offered in a dark wood frame with a gilt liner. The lot is sold in the condition it is in at the time of sale.
