Condition
The medium is pen and ink, and watercolor on paper mounted on card. The work is in fairly good overall condition. The card is apparently acidic; the sheet has darkened somewhat unevenly. There are a few bleach spots visible above the largest boat (visible in the current framing and in the catalogue illustration); there are a few other areas of apparent bleach, in the margins, the largest in the left and bottom margins, and mostly covered by the current matting. The work presents well.
