Condition
The canvas is not lined and there are no signs of retouching visible under UV light. Apart from some minor vertical stretcher marks, this work is in good original condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although overall the colours are much brighter in the original, especially in the centre of the compositon on the water and boats.
