Condition

Board is sound and is uneven and worn at the edges, which is inherent to the work. The surface is dirty with a few specks of staining, including upper left, but is in generally good original condition. Ultraviolet light reveals a few specks of flourescence, including along the lower edge and just to the left of the boat, but these do not appear to be retouching. Held in a painted and gilt wood frame, with a canvas inset. Please telephone the department on +44 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present lot.
