Condition
The canvas has been laid onto a wood panel. Under ultra-violet light old varnish layers fluoresce making the surface difficult to read with certainty, however some relatively minor signs of retouching are clearly visible, notably a number of spots above and below the horizon in the right half of the composition (possibly addressing small repairs), a small spot in the sea in the lower right, and possibly strokes in the clouds. The overall appearance of the work is good and it would benefit from a surface clean to address spots of surface dirt.
Presented in a simple modern frame.
