Condition

The canvas is not lined. Close inspection reveals a tiny curved repaired tear (approx. 1 cm long) in the blue pigment towards the boat chimney with a very slight frame abrasion along the edges. Under UV light, apart from this restored tear, only two other areas appears to fluoresce: one spot (approx. 2 cm long) in the white pigment in the upper right quadrant and another spot in the blue pigment on the hull. This work is in overall good condition.
