Condition

The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals a few small spots and lines of retouching in places, the most prominent of which are to the upper corners and the sky. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition. Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the greens of the sea are slightly more prominent in the original.
