Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is a 3 by 2cm. sq. area of retouching in the upper right quadrant in the sky and a 2 by 1cm. sq. area towards the lower centre, both due to repaired tears. There is a 2cm. line of retouching in the sea below the background boat, due to an old paint loss and two 1cm. sq. spots of retouching near the upper left corner. All retouching is visible under UV light. Apart from some light craquelure, this work is in overall good condition.
