Condition
Canvas is lined. Surface retains a rich impasto in the moon and its reflection on the water. Under UV light a masking varnish is somewhat difficult to read through. There appears to be a former generation of retouching along the left edge of the composition. Otherwise fine. This work is in good condition.
