Condition
The overall condition of this canvas is very good, although the painting would benefit from a light cleaning. There is minor craquellure in the white paint through the waves, and the varnish has yellowed in the grooves of the impasto. Under UV, there are minor touch-ups on all four sides as a result of rubbing from a previous frame.
