Condition
Canvas is not lined. There is a think web of stable craquelure throughout the dark pigments at the center of the composition. The surface is dirty and would benefit from a cleaning. Under UV light: one small stroke of inpainting in the sail near the center of right edge. Otherwise fine, this work is in very good condition.
