Some townscapes which were painted a little later on, such as Townscape Paris [CR: 175], Townscape D [CR: 176] and versions of Townscape F [CR: 177/1 -3] and Townscape PL [CR: 249 — 251], appear to have been painted more quickly and less precisely; many details vanish due to the gestural and
pastose application of paint.
Some passages, painted with thin fluid paint, differ from those painted with
a pastose application of paint, and the paint appears to have been scraped off in some areas so that the lighter tones of the undercoat are visible; light and dark dashes of paint appear all over the canvas.
