Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the light cloud behind the sailor's head tends more towards a paqle turquoise in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a small number of very thin and unobtrusive hairline scratches in a few places along the vertical edges. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
