Condition
The following condition report was kindly provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.:
This work is painted on a very fine canvas, which has been backed by another canvas that does not seem to be adhered. There appears to be a damage in the lower center sky above the French flag. The backing canvas serves no real purpose, and does not address the visible waves, raised cracking to the surface or the damage. The remainder of the painting is in beautiful condition, un-abraded and showing fine details throughout. If the surface were improved, perhaps with a proper lining, the painting would improve.
