This painting is in very good condition. The panel has two thin cracks in the upper center and upper right which have been glued, filled and retouched. In the brighter clouds of the sky and the light reflections of the water the paint layer has cracked slightly but this is stable and has not been retouched. The painting should be hung as is.
