Condition
Canvas is not lined. Colors are bright and fresh and areas of thick impasto are well preserved. A few spots of cracking, particularly in the orange pigment of the boat second from left and in the mast of the sail boat at center.
Under UV light a few strokes of inpainting fluoresce at upper left and right corners and at lower right corner. In addition there are a few tiny hairline strokes around the extreme perimeter of the work, all likely to address prior frame abrasion. Otherwise fine. This work is in good condition.
