Condition
Executed on paper laid down on canvas; the edges are reinforced with tape. Colors are extremely bright and fresh. There appears to be a small crease just below the sailboat near the center, likely a result of the laying down process. Some faint discoloration to the medium along the extreme right edge where the paper ends and the medium is applied directly to the canvas. Minor frame abrasion at the extreme corners, otherwise fine. This work is in very good condition.
