. In an overall fair to good state of original preservation. Light to moderate time staining throughout the sheet which has brought some overall reduction to colour depth. With some additional slight fading particularly to the greens however brighter tones such as the red of the hat on the right hand side and flowers in the gondola etc. remain essentially good and fresh. There is an amount of small to larger sized foxing spots mostly contained in and around the masonry of the building and is more consistent/concentrated within the central and right hand side area. No evidence of cockling. Not examined out of the frame.
