The canvas tension is slack but the painting is in plane and stable. There is extensive, wholesale overpaint in the background and foreground of the painting. The original paint layers are thinly applied and have suffered from wear and abrasion. The overpaint 'crisps' up the architectural detail and cobbles but largely covers original paint. The varnish is clear, even and very glossy. The frame is in a good condition.
