Condition
The canvas is not lined. There are three 1cm. sq. spots of retouching to the mainsail of the boat on the right, and 2cm. sq. spot to the sky just to the right. There are some scattered spots of retouching to the hull and the mainsail of the yacht on the left, and a 4cm. line to the mast. Apart from some further nailhead-sized spots of retouching to the sky between the boats, beneath the hull of the left boat and a two 2cm. sq. area of retouching to the sea, this work is in fairly good condition.
Colours: There is much less yellow in the original.
