Condition
Canvas is not lined. Surface retains its rich and textured impasto. A few scattered cracks dot the thickest areas of pigment, most at left edge but with small cracks in the depicted water at right. Cracks appear stable. Under UV light: some original pigment fluoresces but no inpainting is apparent. Overall the work is in excellent condition.
