Condition

Original canvas. The paint surface is dirty with visible spots of restoration to the sky on the right hand side. There is a repair to the canvas approximately 7cm in length to the lower part of the ship. UV light confirms the the aforementioned areas of retouching and a further small area to the upper inner frame edge. There is a layer of uneven opaque varnish, which prevents a more conclusive examination. Held in a wooden frame. Unexamined out of frame.
