Unexamined out of frame.
The canvas has been relined and the varnish has yellowed slightly. There is a little abrasion around the edge of the canvas. It is just possible to see some scattered old infillings to the architecture.
Inspection under UV light is hindered by thick varnish but it is still possible to see: numerous small infillings scattered throughout the sky; a little retouching to the architecture, particularly lower left; and a few small scattered infillings and areas of restoration. Further restoration cannot be excluded.
