Condition
This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is slight cracking to the pigment, only at areas of very thick impasto, but this is consistent with the age of the work. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals two vertical lines of restoration spanning the length of the canvas at left side, one spot of restoration at the boat at bottom center, and very few, minor and extremely tiny spots of restoration at sky. Framed.
