Condition
The following condition report was kindly provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.:
This painting has been fairly recently restored and could be hung as is. The canvas has been lined using wax as an adhesive and it is stretched onto a new stretcher. The lining and the stretcher are less than perfect. The lining is wax and the cracking in the sky has become raised again. A better lining using Beva-371 as an adhesive will stabilize the paint layer properly. The paint layer is particularly unstable directly above the sails of the boat. However, there appear to be no retouches and the paint layer is in very healthy state. Reversing the lining is recommended.
