The painting is in a good overall condition. It has been correctly relined and cleaned recently. Under naked eye: We notice a vertical restoration (approximatly 15 cm) in the upper right part, above the trees (old mark of stretcher on the canvas, visible on the image). With the UV light : We notice the restoration mentionned previously. We can also see light retouching in the upper corners of the canvas. Some minor retouching is visible on the architecture: base and paving in the lower part. The painting is slightly lighter than catalogue shows.
