A view of Naples seen from the South-West, with a monument in the foreground:
The sheet is in overall fair condition; the pigments have slightly faded.
Executed on wove paper and not laid down. The sheet is fixed to its mount with two small strips of sticky tape along the upper edge of the recto. There are some remnants of strips of tape along the upper edge of the verso. There are paper losses along all edges and there are some scattered scratches across the sheet. There is some uneven discoloration to the paper and there is some scattered surface dirt. The pigments have faded, but remain otherwise fairly strong. Framed.
