Condition
Canvas is unlined and work is in very good condition overall. The surface is clean. Tiny chips of loss near upper center edge. Some minor surface abrasion in places around extreme edges. Under UV light: a patch of inpainting, roughly 3.5 by 2 inches, is visible to the left of the right-most mast, along with a couple strokes to the right of the same mast. Two pinhead sized dots of inpainting at upper center edge to address aforementioned tiny chips of loss. Some original pigments fluoresce, particularly in the glazing of the tower. Otherwise fine.
