Condition
Not examined out of the frame. Original canvas. There appears to be some minor frame abrasion to the lower right corner of the composition. There is some reticulation in the yellow pigments of the boat at the lower left quadrant of the composition. With the exception of this and some light surface dirt the painting appears to be in good and stable condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals a few tiny spots of restoration including to the upper left and right quadrants which have been very sensitively executed. There are one or two further tiny fleck of florescence on the canvas.
The picture is float mounted in a white box frame.
