To the naked eye: The painting appears in relatively satisfactory condition. It is painted on an oak panel, cradled. We notice two traces of cracks of the junctions of the planks. We notice some liftings, losses and restorations on the circular building on the left, on the ground and on the background on the right. Under UV light: The painting appears under a slightly green uniform varnish. We can notice several restorations on the losses already mentioned: on the architecture, on the upper left corner, the ground and on the right of the background. The sky is quite well preserved. In conclusion: The panel must be re-cradled.
