Condition
Painted on cradled panel, the panel is sound. UV examination reveals some scattered small spots and thin lines of retouching in places, the most prominent of which are to the left edge and the right part of the upper edge. There are two tiny paint losses below the right-hand rowing boat and some very minor frame rubbing to the extreme edges. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the greens and blues are more prominent in the original.
