Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, laid down on card. There is a maker's watermark to the centre of the sky. There is time-staining throughout and some stronger areas of discolouration due to an acid mount, notably to the extreme edges and to the sails in the foreground. Apart from some light surface dirt, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: The paper tone is considerably warmer and more cream-coloured and the greens and blues are stronger in the original.
