Condition
The medium is oil on canvas. The surface is in good overall condition. The canvas is not lined. There is a pinhole in the upper left corner. The canvas is bumping very slightly in the upper right quadrant. There is some extremely minor frame rubbing. There are some areas where the work is lightly painted. The whites have retained some very nice dimension. There is a small brown atelier stain in the center, just above the boat. Under UV there is no apparent inpainting. The colors are strong and the work presents very well.
