Condition

The canvas is not lined. Close inspection reveals some thin lines of craquelure located in the impastos of the sky and a tiny paint loss located in the black pigment of the lower left boat. The varnish appears to yellowing. Under UV light, there is no evidence of any retouching. The work is in very good condition.
