Condition
The panel is sound. The surface is nicely textured. A very thin 1/4 inch scratched runs diagonally to the right of the smoke stack, as well as a couple minor nicks to the lower center of black boat. Surface is slightly dirty, particularly noticeable towards the top and bottom right corners. Under UV light there are a few strokes of inpainting visible to the central black boat, two strokes near the bottom edge, 1/2 inch stroke to the center, 1/4 inch stroke below smoke stack, as well as some broader strokes to the right edge, smaller scattered strokes to the sky at upper left, including one area 1/4 inch in diameter to the top center edge of sky, and a similar spot to upper left. This work is in overall good condition.
