Condition

The panel is sound. UV examination reveals some lines and small areas of retouching, running along the right edge of the work, and a further few scattered areas of retouching to the sky. There is a small cross-shaped defect to the wood in the right part of the boat, which is entirely stable and not at all visually distracting. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
