Condition
This work is in excellent condition. The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals three faint spots of fluorescence in the extreme upper right corner although they do not appear to be related to any condition issue.
The colours of the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate overall although the sail of the left-most boat is slightly less red in the original and the sails of the central boat are less dark, more blue-green.
