Condition

The canvas is not lined and there appear to be no signs of retouching visible under UV light. Apart from some minor surface dirt and some slight undulation to the canvas at the upper right and left edges, this work is in good original condition. Colours: The colours are overall warmer and more vibrant, particularly in the sky which is more orange and the sea which is more yellow. The buildings to the centre right are also more orange and red toned.
