Lined, fair tension, all keys present. Quantity of dirt and debris behind bottom stretcher. Original tacking margins removed. A little moating/pressing of impasto from lining process, and a few slighly lumpy, unevenly textured patches in the sky (the cause of these is unclear), see images in reflected light. Brittle age craquelure throughout, mostly flat but there are a few sharp elevated peaks in the centre of the sky. There has also been a history of finer scale flaking, and this appears to be active in a few places with some small sharp raised areas of paint below the dome of the Salute (see images in raking light). There a myriad of losses associated with this flaking, which is mostly around the Salute, in the sky and in the buildings on the right, although the vast majority are tiny, and the handful of larger losses are less than 1cm. Some of these are retouched, and some are not. See images. There are further tiny scattered losses throughout, but they are concentrated in the right hand side. The majority of the paint is secure and in good condition. There are a few very minor old losses of paint at the edges, mostly from retouching.

The edges of the painting have been filled out and retouched, approximately 1cm wide around top and sides, and nearer 2cm at the bottom edge. This is visible within the sight of the frame. There is also a little fine scumbled overpaint in places in the sky, and a larger 3x2inch patch of overpaint to the right edge of the sky (see images in UV). It is unclear what this is covering. There is likely more than one campaign of restoration. There are two horizontal drip marks/losses to the left of the door on the left side. It is unclear what these are. There has been a very little thinning of some of the darker delicate passages of paint, mostly in the corbels under the roof on the left and in the red sail at the right.

Old ingrained varnish and dirt, visible in the lighter passages such as the sky, and a more recent upper varnish, slighly yellowed. A layer of surface dirt and a few scattered surface accretions and flyspotting, and one minor matte splash mark to the bottom edge.
