Estimate $1,000-1,500

A 1/2 inch round dot of retouch located in the u.c. in the building roof, about 3 1/2 inches down from the top edge. Minor retouch to cover frame abrasions along top, left, and upper right sides. Retouch or natural fluorescence in the grey dormer windows in u.c. Some alligatoring to the paint surfaces in the trees at u.r. and in the dress of the foreground woman. Some of the darker pigments are highlighted under UV light, particularly in the brown areas of the foreground woman's dress and in the dress of the seated woman in the middle ground. It appears that this is natural fluorescence from the brown pigment.
